-Building !VirtualBox on Windows 2000 should work fine except for one or two missing runtime DLLs used by libraries or tools the that's required. It very likely that these DLLs are already installed on your computer by some other program, so you wont even notice.

-Building !VirtualBox on Windows Vista works fine with one exception, kBuild is making use of the Almquist's ash shell which is build with cygwin. As of writing to get cygwin to work properly on Windows Vista, you need to use a cygwin1.dll dated 2006-11-02 or later. See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00059.html for details and http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ for the dll. Download the dll, unpack it, and copy it to kBuild/bin/x86.win/cygwin1.dll.

 (Your are free to try building !VirtualBox on NT4 (or earlier) and Windows 95/98/ME, just don't expect it to succeed nor to run.)
