You'd either download a tool or install the Unix versions of grep and sort
for windows.

Once you know the commands you can do almost anything you want in *nix
within a matter of seconds (or a couple of minutes if you need to put
together a basic script.)

I don't yet run Linux on my workstation as it's still not yet completely
ready for what I use my workstation for (a lot of media playback, and a few
games), you can play some games in linux but not all and media playback is
good but it's not 'quite' yet on a par with Windows.

I couldn't get away with Windows as a desktop if I didn't have a linux
router that I'm constantly shelled into and use for programming, routing, a
MP3 Jukebox, web-server, mail-server, X server, file dump and numerous other
activities that Windows just doesn't have the ability to perform as
effectively.

XWindow is still a little laggy but once the preemptive patches are all
ironed out I'll probably be switching in a matter of seconds. :)
