You could always download and burn a Knoppix CD for yourself. Then, boot with the knoppix CD and you'll get linux running on your machine instantly without installing anything onto your hard disk. Knoppix is designed to run off your CD and RAM and it mounts your hard drive as a read only device by default.

Knoppix is execellant!! I am very pro-Knoppix - but if you want to actually install something in Windows that emulates *nix - especially Linux you might want to consider cygwin http://www.cygwin.com you just download the setup.exe file and then you can either install the packages (Bash, SH, nedit, nano, fvwm2, twm, etc...) from the internet if you're on broadband or you can download the packages to hardrive first, then install from your hardrive.

Please note though that vim for cygwin in my experience acts more like the original vi - in how it's hard to delete stuff when in insert mode as opposed to command mode.
