Well, I program in Windows (because I use a lot of assembler coding in MASM 
and while theoretically speaking assembler coding could be done in Linux, 
but practically there is no such a thing as MASM in Linux - and programming 
in both gas and nasm is much more painful).

In Windows, I have no problems with using Maple, Mathematica, as well as 
cygwin versions of GAP, PARI, Singular, Maxima, Macaulay2, etc. However, 
SAGE doesn't work that well in Windows. If it is installed in colinux, Maple 
and Mathematica are unavailable, as well as my assembler programs. In the 
cygwin installation (not supported?), most of tests fail. Plus - it is not 
well thought for the cygwin installation - in particular, I don't see a 
point of duplicating programs from standard cygwin installation - such as 
clisp, Singular, gmp, or even python.
