Thanks everyone for the input. A Win64-compatible EmulatorPkg would have the most immediate impact for my day-to-day work, so looking at Windows support appears to be the best direction at the moment. I spend much time between UEFI and Win 64 driver projects currently, so it's all familiar ground.

Thank you. Let me digest this for a bit - I'm certain I will have plenty of questions afterwards. > It may actually be possible to make more things common and use POSIX on > Windows, but I'm not sure about POSIX support on Windows. The Microsoft-provided POSIX/Interix/SUA option on Windows is probably a non-starter as far as this is concerned. Currently, the POSIX subsystem is only available on Windows 7 Enterprise and Ultimate and not installed by default. There is some means of setting up for Windows 8 using an external download, but the whole POSIX option is considered deprecated on that platform. Lastly, Windows 8.1 will have no POSIX support from Microsoft at all. Having a dependency on something like Cygwin for EmulatorPkg is probably less than ideal.
