'MinGW' (ie. gcc, the various binutils) is a Fedora native application. It doesn't run on Windows, assuming that's what you meant. > I could see this a beneficial as a user that is stuck in a Windows > environment could plug in the U3 device, execute the MinGW application > and run Fedora from the image installed on the storage side of the > device. You're right though that there is a case where MinGW helps people stuck in Windows -- I have a Windows machine here that I use to build libvirt, which I would *dearly* love to convert to a Fedora box. Having MinGW in Fedora provides a path for Windows developers to switch to Fedora.
