Just for fun, run the 32 bit regedit (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regedit.exe)
and have a grand day out looking what a 32 bit application sees when
looking into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node.  Have
something to drink with you, it could take some time...

FWIW, I'm running a Vista 64 test machine and Cygwin runs fine.
