Step 2 shouldn't be neccessary. Windows 2000 IS Windows NT (version 5). It
was renamed to Windows 2000 by the marketing weenies. I've ported a number
of apps from unix to NT/2k, and have not had any problems with
incompatibilities between the two. Now if you're talking about differences
in Windows 9x and NT/2k, that's a whole different ballgame.
Oh, and cygwin works fine under Windows 2k.
