What if I want to run native Unix-like applications on Windows? What's the best application out there?

The exposure to air will act like accelerated time in the cellar to show the wine's full potential and character. Letting Wine Breathe helps allow the wine to reflect all that it truly is so that you can enjoy each sip of that wine even more.
The best way to explain a wine that's “closed” is to say that it's inexpressive, or not showing much character. The term usually refers to a wine that's young—the flavors and aromas are muted, or overpowered by the alcohol, tannins or acidity.
open — tasting term signifying a wine that is ready to drink.
Some wines benefit from a screw cap, because it seals the bottle better and doesn't allow in oxygen, keeping the wine crisp, fresh and well preserved, NPR reports. Wine writer Dave McIntyre tells NPR that screw caps are generally better for white wines, while corks are superior for red wines meant to be drunk young.
Cygwin is closest to what you are looking for, though not exactly like Wine.
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:
- A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
- A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel.
It is not binary-compatible with Linux applications, you still need to rebuild them from source to run under Cygwin. Once rebuilt, however, they should work exactly like on Linux.

Not quite the same, but you could also run a full linux installation inside a VM such as Virtualbox: http://virtualbox.org/

Take a look at andLinux (based on coLinux).
From the site:
andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista; 32-bit versions only).
...
Although this technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server.
andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux applications without modification.
