I don't know about that website, but I've used Microsoft's own "Services for
UNIX" in several situations, and it is a terrific implementation of most
familiar UNIX services on a Windows server, including "cron" and "vi". A
lot of the shell scripts on my website run without modification in SFU,
except for some obvious exceptions. You can download this free software
from "http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/default.asp";, it's only about
350Mb, and it installs and sets up as easily as any package should...

VNC is also a complete (and free) replacement for the "PC Anywhere" type
packages in an all-Windows environment. Except for it's performance over a
slow network and a somewhat annoying X-Windows interface, VNC is the
greatest thing, for any environment, since sliced bread.
