lakmiseiru has decided Windows machine at work. I do about 50% windows, 50% linux, integrated (i.e. looking at data in Linux and moving in into Windoze files). Have already made Windows pretty linux-ish in feel (missing cygwin, still, but have a useable WM and emacs and the like).
I installed Cygwin and an X server. It's usable at this point, barely so.

Dual boot the machine. For times when you're not doing Windoze-stuff (i.e. coding) it will be nice to have the change.

And install wine.

I find dual booting a huge pain. But, cygwin is buggy and awful. Both choices suck here.

Screw cygwin, it's a pain in the ass. VMWare might be a usable option these days, instead of dual-booting.

Look into virtualization instead. http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
