Not to mention:

  http://directory.fsf.org/project/reactOS/ - "ReactOS is a project to
create a free operating system that is compatible with Windows NT so
users can have access to a free operating system but still run their
favorite Windows PC programs and drivers."

  http://directory.fsf.org/project/Windows32API/ - "It is a set of
header files and import libraries that can be used by GNU tools for
compiling and linking programs to be run under operating systems
supporting the Win32 Application Programming Interface. "

  http://directory.fsf.org/project/gtmess/ - "gtmess is a console MSN
Messenger client for GNU/Linux and other systems that conform to the
POSIX standard. It supports the MSNP9 protocol version."

  http://directory.fsf.org/project/macssh/ "...This is a Macintosh
version for SSH."

  http://directory.fsf.org/project/djgpp/ "Complete 32-bit C/C++
development system for Intel 80386 (and higher) PCs running DOS."

Etc. etc. etc. - it's all over the place.  If the cygwin stuff (dunno
if it is or not) is merged into the main source repository, then we
can assume that virtually every piece of GNU code has been designed to
work with windows, so it can't be recommended.  Thus does the
revolution devour its children.

Given the plain weirdness of the arguments "Richard Stallman" has been
making, maybe we should consider the possibility that we've been had
by an impostor trying to get a rise out of the OBSD crowd. ;)  If not,
then the interesting question is, why is he doing this, really?  All
the pronouncements about freedom, and the Important Life Lessons about
how mentioning a thing is tantamount to endorsing it - it just doesn't
add up, it's too silly.  I wonder what the real agenda is.
