Probably the easiest is to install UWIN from AT&T Labs--Research:

You could also install a virtual machine environment (e.g. virtual box) and then install Linux or FreeBSD in the VM environment and do you testing under the real OS.

Yes, sorry, I am so newbie on this. I used to run shell on Linux OS only. Now, blank what to do. I don't like to change my OS to be linux permanently.
