Why was .NET called .NET?

In my default cygwin install, my home directory was C:\cygwin\home\mkopinsk. I just changed it (in C:\Cygwin\etc\profile) to /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/mkopinsk so hopefully it should be a bit less painful now. I will consider switching to a non-cygwin solution in the future.

That's odd. What version of Windows are you using? Last time I used Cygwin (XP or Vista, can't remember), the home defaulted to the Windows home.

XP. I don't remember changing any options in setup.exe, but who knows. Bottom line it's fixed.
