That's reasonable. I installed Linux on the my notebook but
if you can't do that cygwin is the next best thing. Get it
and then gcc, Xfree86 and then KDE and all the GNU tools you
can find and Perl and Tcl/Tk. I use Nedit and DDD on cygwin
oo. The environment looks and feels just like Linux. In fact
more like Linux then does a fresh Solaris installation.

Installing cygwin is brain dead easy: There is an "install"
icon on the cygwin web site. Just click it. It's like magic.
It's worth the effort if for nothing else then getting
bash and tcsh to run on Windows. Makes W2K usable.
