Ironically, this Guix thing would be perfect... for Windows.
Right now, I have to maintain my own list of GnuWin32 installers (wget coreutils cygutils diffutils findutils grep gzip less patch sed tar unzip) retrieved from sf.net, with a 30 lines batch script to deploy them, plus a powershell command to retrieve wget as the first step.

nix (and potentially guix) is working on windows, at least from what i heard. probably there are some issues with existing packages since nobody really pays much attention to windows but if somebody cared this could improved a lot.
