[Cialug] Well Done Microsoft?

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

Here's how to set it up. I just Googled "windows 10 anniversary update

I've only used Cygwin a small amount, years ago. It worked, but was
pretty rough around the edges. The Linux that comes from the
Microsoft/Ubuntu collaboration pretty much just works.
