Just like there are a few Linux/GNU/Free Software apps for which I have
not found Windows-equivalents. For example, grep, sed, awk, vi.
I know that there is cygwin, and there is also gnuwin, but these are not
original Windows-equivalents. They are just the original software
recompiled for Windows, and often lacking some interesting features.
Anyway, *every* Linux distro has them installed by default, but you have
to jump trough hoops to get them on Windows.
Srsly, I cannot imagine how any system administrator could ever survive
without grep...
