;Cygwin is:
* a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows.
* a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality.

;Cygwin is not:
* a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows.
* a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX® functionality like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.
