Thanks, I visited the sites. Unfortunately, though, it looks like Cygwin
requires an internet connection on the machine you install it on :(, but I
don't have that. I was hoping to be able to test this out.

But the first question is, what's MPlayer's performance and CPU usage under
Cygwin? Can anyone out there running it provide this? If it's not better
than Linux on the same hardware, then I wouldn't need it.
