Minitab is a very good Windows integrated soft with some robust statistics
(non parametrics and robust rebression) and has a powerfull programmation
language (a lot of these macros are avaliable from the net). And moreover...
it's not expensive, even for student :-)) (as I am). But I am not really
sure, as I can see in cited softwares in publications, that Minitab is
recognised but perhaps am I wrong??
For specific utilisations, some soft exists: for exemple by Rouseeuw
PROGRESS for robust regression...
Hope this helps
