I once had to work in a place where only Windows computers were available and to perform typical admin tasks such as searching for files, moving them around or renaming them, etc.
I installed Python and wrote a few command that I could run from an Ipython shell. The experience was actually quite pleasant (Under linux, I do pretty much everything in bash, but I find that scripting in Python made Windows sufferable. Yes, I also know cygwin)
