I've been using Cygwin on W2K for 6 months now.  I know others on this list
have been using it for longer.  I have minimal experience in porting packages
from UNIX to Windows platforms but I see no reason why Cygwin would address
this any worse (or perhaps better!;-)) for W2K than NT.  Is that your 
question?
