[NTLK] Old-school Newton tools on Intel Macs?

For those who like to use the old Apple connectivity tools for Newton
(mainly NCU), the loss of Classic on the Intel Macs is a little
inconvenient. (Well, it would be if I had one, which I probably will
... someday.)

But now that Apple officially allows booting Intel Macs into Windows XP
("Boot Camp" public beta, for those who haven't followed the story),
maybe there's now a way to keep using those old tools on the Intel Macs
well into the future -- by using the Windows version. (I know,
rebooting into a different OS isn't quite as convenient as running
Classic in OS X, but for some people it might be preferable to keeping a
separate machine around just to feed your Newton.)

I have no experience with Newton connectivity on Windows XP -- is it
good? Am I right or sadly deluded to think that this will be an
adequate replacement for the Classic tools? I know there's no AppleTalk
and hence no Ethernet on NCU for Windows, but will everything else be
pretty much the same? Any reason it wouldn't work on an Intel Mac?
