After two long years since the last release, Cygwin 1.7 (a Linux-like environment that runs on Windows systems) has been released. Among many other improvement, this release adds support for Windows 7 and Server 2008R2.

True, but MS is trying to push users into using C# instead of C/C++.
In the long run, I would imagine that MS will try to kill the C Win32I (and NT) APIs and drop support for "legacy" C/C++ applications.
