Windows IS usable. Install cygwin. Install apt-cyg:

$ svn --force export http://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ /bin/
$ chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg

Add cygwin distro and cygports aliases to apt-cyg (update ~/.bashrc accordlngly). Cygwinports advices to use different mirrors for ports and distro, though not sure it's critical.

$ alias apt-c='apt-cyg -m http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/'
$ alias apt-p='apt-cyg -m http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwinports/'

Use:

$ apt-c install lighttpd
$ apt-p install php php-sqlite3
