Have you seen Sun's Virtual Box?  It's very cool.  Basically, it creates 
a virtual environment, somewhat isolated from the host OS, in which you 
can install any OS you like.  At work, I've installed Ubuntu on my XP 
system.  I'm finding it a bit of a memory hog, but otherwise it works 
just fine.  I have Cygwin too, but really prefer the Virtual Box.  I get 
full blown Linux without compromises of Cygwin.  Then, if it turns out 
you don't like it, or want it to go away just delete the virtual partition.
