I'm using VMware for NT under Windows 2000b3 at the moment to do my kernel
debugging; it's a definite time-saver when the inevitable kernel-crashes
come along...

Now, if only someone had come up with a way to compile oskit kernels under
NT (anyone? unlikely, I suppose, but never hurts to ask...), there wouldn't
be any awkward pauses at all.
