You could install Cygwin (tutorial at
http://cplus.about.com/od/compilersandides/l/aa061204a.htm), and then
pick a favorite window manager.  Most of the major standalone ones are
ported, IIRC, like blackbox and WindowMaker.  A WindowMaker+Cygwin
mini-tutorial is at http://www.khngai.com/emacs/xfree86.php.
