I recommend you try Cygwin (Cygwin Information and Installation) which allows you to run Linux commands under Windows.

Also you can set up a virtual PC using something like VMware Server and run a Linux or Solaris x86 virtual machine under Windows, or just download one of the pre-prepared VMware player images.

This is much safer than reinstalling something instead of Windows, until you are familiar with the new OS.
