LambdaCalculus:
For development on Windows, we really recommend Cygwin.

Instructions to set up a Cygwin environment are here:

(EDIT: BigBambi's suggestion is much better. ;))

Really?  VMWare is miles faster, so long as your PC is at all modern.  I would recommend VMWare any day over cygwin:

VMWare runs in Windows and creates a virtual machine that runs Linux.  In others words, it allows your Windows PC to run Linux.
