There are lots of options here. As mentioned, virtualbox should be a good option, and you can probably use something like wubi to create an Ubuntu desktop running along side Windows.
Thanks to all for the advice. I have some learning to do.
I actually have VirtualBox installed and for the sprint I had a Vagrant VM set up running the basic http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box. I had set up a virtualenv on this box with Sphinx installed for the Sphinx tutorial at PyCon, and this worked really well.
When I got to the Mailman sprint, I tried to install MM 3 on this Vagrant VM, and I ran into some error with buildout trying to compile some package and failing with a missing Python.h file.
I ran 'sudo apt-get install python-dev' on the VM which I thought would fix it, and the install seemed to run OK, but I still had no Python.h.
At that point, I gave up and went to a virtualenv on my production server.
At this point, I don't know whether the best approach is look for a more complete development box for Vagrant or figure out how to provision the basic Vagrant box with what I need or forget Vagrant and install directly in VirtualBox or go with a dual-boot.
Anyway, it's going to be interesting to figure this out.
