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. cheers, -Matt Smith > Hi everybody. > I'm going to start the porting of a Unix application to Windows NT/2000, and I > decided to use > Cygwin.
