Quand on est obligé d'être sous Windows pour pouvoir utiliser des logiciels qui ne sont disponibles que sur cette plateforme (je pense que c'est la principale raison qui peut nous pousser à faire une chose pareille ;) ), un tel projet est un vrai bol d'air !

Good and clean site for an excellent piece of open source software, with which you can bring some of linux's command-line beauty into Windows. Cygwin packages are updated regularly, and are for most of time trustworthy, without any hidden malware or ads etc.

Very useful, but only recommended for people who know how to program (I exclude myself here).
