Not sure if I do understand your question correctly. But if you are 
asking for an OpenStep GUI implementation on Windows, yes there is one: 
GNUstep. Beside the different Unix system GNUstep runs on, we also 
feature a windows backend, although it is still unstable. Just check it 
out on CVS. (And don't use the newest Cygwin, as this is broken)

If this wasn't your question, could you please rephrase it?
