How about this: One Linux machine in a central location. Classroom
systems running MS-Windows, with Cygwin. SSH to Linux machine. Use SSH X11
forwarding and the X server that comes with Cygwin, and you can run X11
programs as well. Not only does that give them a real Unix system, but it
nicely demonstrates Unix's excellent remote access capabilities.

This scenario is something that one might find it the real world as well, it's what I do every day anyway.
It will also reveals some of the differences when one compares the 'real' *nix to the cygwin environment.
/bin/ls vs. /bin/ls.exe to name example.
