Re: What's the status of cygwin on NT device drivers?

["Robert Collins" <robert dot collins at itdomain dot com dot au>]

You might look at the toolkit reactos (www.reactos.com) is using. They are
building a open source binary compatible windows NT environment.. and they
are building device drivers now. They are using GCC and other gnu tools.
