You can create a Linux-like environment running as an application on a Windows system by installing Cygwin. You can set up telnet access, use most Linux commands, etc.

Cygwin: don't leave /home without it.

Cygwin's cool, I use it daily on my Windows boxes. But it ain't the same as a virtual machine, by any stretch of the imagination.

Heh, I'm not a huge fan of Cygwin, but I have to admit - that's pretty funny.
