I have some desire to discuss fork. I know it is an old and difficult topic.

The Posix subsystem used it.
If you look at the several Corinna's tentatives of having any info on the Microsoft forum the problem is the lack of official documentation of the details. Without details no solution can be implemented that is guaranteed to work on all existing and hopefully future version of Windows. Cygwin can only use official external API and not hidden internal one.
