I'm in exactly the same boat: plenty of great tools for the various UNIXes,
but not much at all for Windows. The problem is, loading a preconfigured

It does, apparently, righteously rock.

I haven't done it yet, though. I just found the site this week and have been
firefighting too much to try it out.
