"The GNUstep Windows installer is based on the MinGW system and consists of the basic MSYS and MinGW libraries, other library dependancies and the GNUstep Core packages (gnustep-make, gnustep-base, gnustep-gui, and gnustep-back). The installer installs GNUstep onto most varieties of Windows (see below for tested installations) and sets up the computer to make it easy to run GNUstep applications. It is based on the NSIS installer."

GTK2 has long been ported to Windows and the Gimp, Abiword, Gnumeric and Pidgin all run on Windows.

None of those applications are part of the GNOME Desktop Environment.

Abiword and Gnumeric are the core apps of GNOME Office. I think they automatically count as GNOME apps and the GIMP is included in the list of GNOME projects.

The original poster said:

Until KDE apps can run on Windows (I prefer GNOME, but... whatever), this could be a great addition.

I think he was referring to apps not the complete DE.
