I recently stumbled across an article about OpenNT. This might be what you
want? OpenNT allows running of Linux/Unix applications on NT, that is, you
can run WinWord etc. on NT and at the same time run gcc etc. on Linux on
NT on the same machine! An X Server is included. Most GNU stuff runs
according to the marketing hype at

http://www.softway.com/Opennt/home.htm

though my beloved ;-) emacs is not (yet?) on the list of working apps.

I'm seriously thinking of installing OpenNT myself, so any
comments/experiences with OpenNT from others are welcome.

Hope this helps,

Jan.
