I can relate to this one... I was tasked to port this UNIX application from CORBA to Axis2C and I was handed out a (WHAT?!) Window$ XP laptop...
I dual booted the Laptop (to have a fall back resource) and installed Kubuntu. I slapped a virtual XP on top to do the windoze thing (Outlook ans stuff like that). Then I created a Samba share that was pointed to an sshfs mounted to the UNIX machine so I could browse the source directly from the XP machine without scaring anyone. For "work at home" days, I would fire the virtual M$, connect to the VPN and login into the UNIX machine. Then I would set a reverse tunnel to my server and then a reverse tunnel to the laptop. I had scripts that detected the environment and mounted the filesystem appropriately. Pretty geeky... :) ET PS: Gave up SHR. Now I am OpenWRT(ing) Hope it works...
