I know that some people really depend on having server applications
available on Windows via cygwin.  However, some of us do not use those
and rely only on non-server apps, for which this environment *might*
be useful.  (I am not drawing from the experimental stream and will
wait for the broader release, and see what's available.  Meanwhile,
I am still waiting for my Surface Book to talk to my USB 3.0 backup
disk!  (I have to use it through a USB 2.0 hub, or it won't work!))
