Comment on Why is OSX terminal so much better than Windows command prompts?parent

Believe me when I tell you ... I don't want Cygwin. When I want a Linux-like experience, I return to one of my primary computers, all of which run Linux.

For Windows, what I want is a way to make it appear as much as possible like a remote Linux server, granted that it's running an absurd operating system with a bunch of peculiarities like drive letters, confusion of upper and lower case pathnames, and the inability to register anything less precise than two seconds of time (in file and directory access times). So a simple SSH server seems like the best approach.
