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.
