To run CDE on a WIN box you can use Reflection X.

For CDE on windows 2000, I personally use Exceed by Hummingbird. www.hummingbird.com

Good Luck!

I had to do a LOT of development for this so here are some pointers. I have been able to gather

** Best Documentation **
Solaris Documentation by Product
http://docs.sun.com/?p=prod/cde

*** Administrator Documentation ***
Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and
System Administrator's Guide
http://docs.sun.com/?p=/doc/806-1361

Do not bother with the local machine man pages or the manuals when trying to understand how CDE is configured. Logic would have it that those pages would have everything you need. However, CDE man pages are all made for USER issues. Developer documents are located online or purchased.

I have not found a good book on CDE. Very few exist and I have not seen any positive reviews. Plus there are no websites dedicated to DT or CDE.

Currently there are multiple desktop types, fvwm, KDE, Gnome, and others. All have good points and bad. You can draw your own conclusions by reading the websites.

KDE -> http://www.kde.org
Gnome -> http://www.gnome.org
fvwm -> http://www.fvwm.org
