Anytime I've been _forced_ to use windows, I normally install Cygwin and LiteStep. I know my way around it, but I'm not 100% my students will. So I'll have to design examples to do the whole activestate + doubleclick thing.
Anyone know of any good, free editors for windows? I'm a vi guy, but on my Mac for presentations I use TextWrangler because of it's "Run / Check Syntax" feature. Is there a Win equivalent?
