I've been using Bash for Windows at work for a couple of months, and it's mostly been good enough that I don't need to fire up my ubuntu vm anymore.
The biggest problem I've run into lately is that I really want to be able to run GUI-based programs, and even though that does worth with VcXWin, it's kind of crappy, especially for font rendering.
Anyone know of a free (or cheap) x window server for windows that does anti-aliasing?
