I like it because it's a series of simple, user-space executables.  Doesn't 
muck with the registry, doesn't mess with .DLL's.  Can be run from floppy and 
your system administrator need never know. 

I can just imagine what eyebrows the cygwin package would raise if installed 
on a regularly scanned office PC.
