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!))
