Lack of cygwin support has impeded the market penetration of Windows XP64, but it seems Microsoft would rather lose out to linux and HPUX than let their customers run cygwin. It may be they don't understand how many customers depend on cygwin, which is their fault too, since they don't support those customers, just collect the fees and forget them.

How exactly does Microsoft stop their customers from running Cygwin? I'm curious because as you even admit "many customers depend on cygwin" so it is demonstrable that Microsoft has no power to stop their customers from running Cygwin.
