Actually Microsoft provides a "POSIX" subsystem for NT, but it's
useless. However you can get just about all the nice unix utilities
these days from places like this.
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
And you can compile a great deal of unix source code yourself with
this Windows version of the gcc compiler.
http://www.mingw.org/
But if you're unfamiliar with the unix OS philosophy, or the tools,
you probably should grab a copy of that book Jacob mentioned. And
you may be better off trying it out with a Knoppix CD before
attempting to use it on Windows.
Enjoy,
Don
