1.7はどのバージョンのWindowsに対応しているか
久しぶりにCygwinの話題を。
Cygwin1.5は、Vistaではまともに動かないという報告が相次いでいます。調べてみると、ベータテスト中の次期バージョン1.7は、Vistaもサポートする、となっています。
現時点でのFAQの内容はこうなっています。
What versions of Windows are supported?
Cygwin can be expected to run on all modern 32 bit versions of Windows, except Windows CE. This includes Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003 and the WOW64 32 bit environment on released 64 bit versions of Windows. As far as we know no one is working on a native 64 bit version of Cygwin. Since Cygwin is a community-supported free software project, patches to provide support for other versions would be thoughtfully considered. Paid support contracts or enhancements are available through Red Hat. For information about getting a Red Hat support contract, see http://cygwin.com/license.html.
Keep in mind that Cygwin can only do as much as the underlying OS supports. Because of this, Cygwin will behave differently, and exhibit different limitations, on the various versions of Windows.

Cygwinは、WindowsCEを除く、最新の32ビット版Windows全てで動作するとされている。これにはWindows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003と、64ビット版の32ビット互換モードが含まれる。知る限りでは、ネイティブ64ビット版には誰も手をつけていない。
