I unixize NT in a similar way, I've been using WinXs, which is similar, but better, solution than Cygwin. Other useful tools are Ghostscript, Ghostview (not really unix tool specifcially, but I was introduced to them on unix). GVim and Vim are, of course, indespensible tools. Despite this unixization, I still thank goodness I can telnet to my old, bulletproof Sparcstation!
Being inspired and motivated by someone else's design is quite different from stealing their code.
