You think running MS Windows or other operating systems besides UNIX is going to solve your problem.

Firstly, certain Windows versions including Vista are somewhat POSIX compliant, which is a horrible UNIX standard to make software work on anything.

UNIX BSD code has been used and acknowledged by Microsoft in Windows for years.

Recent Vista innovations(?) include updated open source BSD UNIX stuff. I don't know what that does but so does Apple OS, at least beyond OS X. So Tiger etc. will be in trouble if we procrastinate.
