Desktop Manager. This is the coolest hack for Windows. It's a virtual
desktop and replacement shell.  http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/byronm/dm.html

Vim... http://www.vim.org

X-Win32 by StarNet. A great x-server and client, but pricey for home
($249 regular, $149 for educational staff, $60 for students)

GNU Utils for Win32... http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

Less for Win32... http://www.flash.net/~marknu/less/download.html

Freeamp... http://www.freeamp.org/

Getting the idea that I spend too much time using Windos?

Or, if you are determined to spend money, SecureCRT by VanDyke.
