I had heard good things about Cygwin, it's probably not exactly what I'm after but I may look at it. I've actually heard a fe people say they used to use Cygwin but now just use a Virtual Machine running Linux or a Live CD.

Depending on the wishes of the OP, Cygwin won't help. It's better to go through the VM route.

I guess I don't really see the point of running a full-blown Linux, when what I really want are tools and utilities that cygwin offers.
