Or you can use Tk/Tcl available under NT and UNIX.

There is also the GNU-Win32 environment with bash that is a better shell
that command.com for NT or the shell under OS/2. The GNU-Win32
environment is a UNIX like environment for NT. In fact I developpe on
UNIX and NT and I have the same (in all point EMACS, GNAT, gcc, bash,
 gawk, sed, cut, wc, ps....) environment on both plateform.

Also keep in mind that NT is really easier to install/configure.
