I've been using GNU utilities for Win32 available at:
 http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ 

They work really, really well on Win2000.  Not sure about XP.

No bash with it, though you can put in command completion in cmd:

cmd is close to being a real shell. see:

Of course, nothing is as good as a Unix workstation <sigh>
