If you're just planning on using it for news, it should be pretty
straightforward. This is assuming you don't have the expectation to
migrate the state of subscribed groups and read/unread postings. In
other words, if you just want to start reading news, it should be a
simple at M-x gnus from your emacs. Take a look at the Gnus manual and
report back if you have any specific problems.
By the way, I recommend Cygwin Emacs over NT Emacs if you are already
running Cygwin (and perhaps even if you aren't).
