How is the Windows Unix shell these days? I have a Macbook Pro, which I installed Windows on, since I couldn't get used to OSX for my daily use (little things like Windows management and keyboard shortcuts and other stuff that added up).

Went back to OSX mainly due to the native Unix shell. On Windows I had some problems on and off with sockets and sometimes I would encounter a system call that hadn't been implemented. This was maybe 10 months ago.
