If you haven't already, consider giving Services for UNIX (SFU) a try. To me, it's one of the best, free as in beer downloads Microsoft offers. While it doesn't doesn't allow you to leverage Windows specifics (although I use VIM to write VBScript with syntax highlighting
, it will give you a very nice shell in Windows (not to mention well integrated access to standard UNIX commands). Especially after a quick visit to www.interopsystems.com. From there you can add BASH, TCSH, ZSH and/or even an OpenSSH server. Crave an X Windows Server with that? http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming can help with that too. SFU includes CSH and KSH. If you do a custom install, you can add a complete GNU development environment and perl as well.
