Have a look at cygwin at *www.cygwin.com

# Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts: A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
# A collection of tools, which provide Linux look and feel.

The Cygwin DLL works with all non-beta, non "release candidate", ix86 32 bit versions of Windows since Windows 95, with the exception of Windows CE.
What Isn't Cygwin?
# Cygwin is not a way to run native linux apps on Windows. You have to rebuild your application from source if you want to get it running on Windows.
# Cygwin is not a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX ® functionality, like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.

I think Cygwin is a unix environment for windows, but not a linux emulator. But it still is great to feel the power of unix if windows is the only option! :)

I don't know any linux binary emulators for windows, but still google is your friend - *www.google.com/search?q=Linux+emulator
