No, almost all of the tools have been ported to dos/windows. SO you can 
use gcc and bison and bash and most of your favorite command line tools 
under windows.

What this says is you cannot use any of those tools on their handheld 
platofrm. Want to compile a program? Gotta use M$ or M$ liceneced tools, 
and no free software. 

No perl. No apache. Both of these were ported to win32. But I guess M$ 
isn't happy with that. I guess if you want to build something in perl, 
you're not allowed to use the non-commercial free ports. 

And I have to wonder if this prevents you from releasing free/open 
software on the platform as well...
