If Unix is what you want, you shouldn't be using a system that isn't Unix (or Unix-like in the case of Linux).

However, there's still Cygwin which is reasonably good.

Except that it is dog slow, horribly out of date, neither really compatible with Windows nor Unix paths, and lacking support for graphical stuff.

Well, I use msys and eshell instead, which I find less jarring.
