I’d tested Nginx under Cygwin, I like his/her abilities and tried many  
times.

I’d found that Nginx under Cygwin 1.7.0 always cause a CPU 100% matter,  
while Nginx under Cygwin 1.5.25 always cause a CPU 0% matter, When got a  
pretty heavy but not very large work.

I know that CPU matters are caused by Cygwin1.DLL, but I can not solve  
it. Nginx under Cygwin can not run the master-worker models good and  
lack of ability in allocating memories.

I think a Windows native Nginx compiled by MSVC or MinGW/GCC will be  
better.

Please take a little time to get ready a such release at maybe next  
release.

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Robert Kwok

Why not try Nginx in Linux? Or use IIS in Windows, That’s much easier.

Windows is not same to Linux, And IIS is not same to Nginx.

Many programs can not run under Linux but under Window.

I think what he is suggesting is that nginx is much more stable under  
unix  
and linux. As such, you can probably put nginx on some cheap hardware  
running freebsd or something and then use its awesome reverse proxy  
features  
to back-proxy to whatever windows based services you need to utilize.
