You have several possiblities, each with their own advantages and disavantages:

VMware is a virtual machine so that you can run different OSes inside each other.

cygwin provides a Linux-like enviroment inside Windows.

coopertive linux is a modified linux kernel that is designed to run inside a Windows enviroment. You can use it to boot up linux distros inside Windows without the extra overhead of virtualization hardware.

And there probably a few other options.

Second the above recommendation, and add Microsoft Virtual PC.
