No, you cannot claim that. rxvt still behaves strangely in some ways when being executed in Windows XP, for instance because of an annoying ClearType incompatibility. I do not know whether this grave bug has been fixed in the meantime, I'm still using the 1.3.13-2 release. But I strongly believe that the problem still persists. I hope that in one upcoming release (btw, still within this year?) the ClearType problem will be fixed at last, as the workaround discussed here earlier is nothing but a lame temporary solution. For example "ls --color | less" will make your output (still) a mess... At the momentary state, I think rxvt's regrettably too buggy for becoming Cygwin's default installed terminal.
