I've installed over 50 PIX firewalls (506-525, no 535's yet) since people
started running Win2k betas and never run into compatibility issues specific
to Win2k for the PIX's main job: firewalling.
Regarding VPN, which the PIX does, but is not it's primary function, the
Cisco VPN Client software (v3, and not the OEM'd IRE "Cisco Secure" client)
is not yet supported on the PIX, but will as soon as PIX OS v6 is released.
Regarding NT in general, I know the PIX Mailguard will block SMTP
authentication (supported in Exchange), so you'd have to disable Mailguard
if you were using it for remote POP3/SMTP clients. Of course that's not a
problem if you're using VPNs.
If you're looking for large VPN client rollouts, get a VPN Concentrator. If
you want site to site VPN + Firewall, use the PIX (depending on bandwidth
needs add a hardware accelerator).
Of course, Cisco is more than happy to sell you both, which at times is the
preferred solution if you have both site to site and large client installs.
