I don't know if this will work for you but, I just use a boot floppy on my workstation at home.
I have Windows loaded on the hard drive and when I need to work in Windows I eject the floppy and restart the computer. If I want to switch back to Linux, I insert the floppy and restart the computer. If I'm in Windows and I need to do some command line operations I use Putty (do a Google search) to SSH into the server. I haven't tried cygwin so I can't speak to that. But I've used VNC and found myself getting frustrated with VNCs lag time with screen updates.
