You have to stea... purchase large parts of windows to get enough
of it to be able to develop on it. I tried to run installers under
Wine: nothing worked until the not-to-be-mentioned parts
(ok, the whole "Windows" and "Program Files" directories from an
existing installation) were provided. I didn't tried cygwin, though.
