Re: Building Emacs-cvs on Cygwin

[Richard Stallman]

    Microsoft Windows is not a complete system, as it is missing most end
    user applications, and is also lacking the toolbox inventory of small
    utilities that are a necessary ingredient of POSIX systems.

    One has to add quite a bit of GNU stuff to MS Windows before it
    becomes comparably useful.

I stand corrected.  Nonetheless, isn't it a lot more than a kernel?
