In addition to "less", there are a bunch of other *nix utilities that really help (how can someone live without cat?). I haven't compared the GNU utils lately to the Cygwin ones, but Cygwin is very complete. You can install Cygwin very easily (has its own installer now) then just ignore Cygwin (i.e. don't use its bash shell, use your regular Win console) and you'll have access to all the utils as long as cygwin/bin is in your path.

Another tip: if you can, ditch IIS and install Apache - you'll get a wider group of monks able to help you troubleshoot server issues that way.
