Cygwin is a shell that emulates most parts of the Linux/POSIX syste, under
Windows. Programs (re)compiled for it will run as if it were on linux
(that's the theory at least).
Cygwin is mostly a text based shell, but there's also a X11 server in the
package. Normaly you don't run Cygwin as "the shell" just as a console
windows.
