DJGPP runs in NT4 correct?

Win2000 is just NT5 so what's the big problem?  Has anyone who is a Win2000
beta tester actually tried running DJGPP?

Reading the bottom "announcement" that Win2000 will "not support dos" I
think someone misread or misquoted MS.  I think what MS means by "not
support dos" is only that you can't upgrade from dos.  You can only upgrade
to Win2000 if you have Win 3.1/9x.

comments?
