False.

All of my windows boxes needed to be updated.  One of the first things I 
do on any new windows box is install cygwin to get a saner development 
environment with bash as my shell.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if other windows apps bundle bash for one 
reason or another too.  It might not come as part of the base install 
(though given the huge pile of stuff that gets installed, I wouldn't put 
huge bets on it not lurking off in a dark corner somewhere), but that's 
not the end of the story.
