Out of curiosity, is there anyone here who uses the virtual machine approach to get unix tools onto Windows? Wouldn't that work much better?
I'm currently using OSX as my development os and I would like to switch to Windows because I do a lot of hardware hacking and often drivers are Windows only. The only things that holds me back are battery life (about half compared to OSX) and command line tools.
Sure, VMWare Player with a shared folder pretty much lets you act with a shell onto a (Windows) directory. I don't know how much this helps you with hardware evelopment though.
