Yes. You can quickly see this when running ping. On Cygwin it runs 3 times on Linux forever.
Edit: thinking about it I'm not sure if I'm right. Or does Cygwin map the ping command to the Windows command?

It looks like Cygwin has a ping package, but it isn't something you'll get unless you specifically select it in the installer.
