Being late to Linux in my career, I’m fascinated by things many probably already find mundane, like tailing logs. Someone finally suggested to me that I could use Cygwin to do this in Windows. He was my hero for the day!
Speaking of heroes, the members of Stackoverflow have a great way to open a Cygwin console in any directory with a right-click, described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9637601/open-cygwin-at-a-specific-folder. I used the registry trick because the command-line approach didn’t work for me.
