Public versions of GNAT tend to lag the commercial version, as it has
been ACT's philosophy to be fairly sure everything will be straight-forward
for unsupported customers (who they expect to be students) before releasing
a new public version.  However, the public versions are not "crippled" versions
of the GNAT technology.

These questions are best routed to ACT at sales@gnat.com -- I'm pretty sure
the answer to the last question is yes.

Of course it's possible (where'd I put that text on Turing completeness?)
There are several projects that assist in the development of GUI code, to 
include:

CLAW 
Aonix GUI Builder
RAPID
(and apologies to others I've forgotten)

The first two are based on Windows, the third on Tcl/Tk (so as to be
multi-platform).
