I too am a regular Windows user, despite a dislike for Microsoft's 
marketing shenanigans. If you need a Linux/UNIX-like system there's 
Cygwin, and if nothing but a real Linux kernel will do there's coLinux, 
which I started using recently. The major pain with coLinux is that most 
of the developers are Linux types, so reliable information about 
integration into the Windows environment can be hard to come by. But I'm 
getting there ...
