What the heck do you mean by "the nextstep interface"? That's 
unbelievably ambiguous. You don't run the nextstep interface any more 
than you run the windows interface. You run applications. They happen to 
use an interface that's extremely similar to the original NeXT 
interface, but that's more or less irrelevant.

As of now, if you compile and run any GNUstep application under Windows, 
it will look exactly the same as it would under Linux or any other OS.

You may not think it, but your question is really ambiguous. Are you 
looking for developer tools?
