On: Porting Node to Windows With Microsoft’s Help

I remember a few occasions at work where I figured I'd write a quick Powershell script to process some text files or something, and writing the script was quick and pleasant enough, but then it turned out to be quicker to just write a C# program to do the same thing rather than wait for the Powershell script to finish =)

I you really should install cygwin (and MinTTY).

iirc I had cygwin installed as well, but had mostly stopped using it for some reason I forget.
