Actually, you're reporting what 'uname -s' provides, which just tells you
which version of Windows you're running Cygwin on. You're apparently
running XP. CYGWIN_NT-5.0 would indicate that the O/S is W2K.
'uname -r' would describe the Cygwin DLL release you're running.

Cygwin will not report DOS/Windows path formats. It reports POSIX-style
instead. You can convert back to DOS/Windows from POSIX with 'cygpath'.
Take a look at 'man cygpath' for details.
