There are lots of options here. As mentioned, virtualbox should be
a good option, and you can probably use something like wubi to

Thanks to all for the advice. I have some learning to do.
I actually have VirtualBox installed and for the sprint I had a
Vagrant VM set up running the basic
http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box. I had set up a virtualenv on
this box with Sphinx installed for the Sphinx tutorial at PyCon, and
this worked really well.
When I got to the Mailman sprint, I tried to install MM 3 on this
Vagrant VM, and I ran into some error with buildout trying to compile
some package and failing with a missing Python.h file.
I ran 'sudo apt-get install python-dev' on the VM which I thought
would fix it, and the install seemed to run OK, but I still had no
Python.h.
At that point, I gave up and went to a virtualenv on my production server.
At this point, I don't know whether the best approach is look for a
more complete development box for Vagrant or figure out how to
provision the basic Vagrant box with what I need or forget Vagrant and
install directly in VirtualBox or go with a dual-boot.
Anyway, it's going to be interesting to figure this out.
Since I was curious to see I created a vagrant VM with lucid and I only
needed to install the following:
To install (Lucid32):
- python
- python-dev
- bzr
- python-setuptools
- gcc
To make everything work and be able to run buildout and bin/test in
mailman bzr version.
So now I was thinking to transform this manual steps in a Vagrantfile,
and we could use this
to ship for people that want to try, other things to do:
Optional packages:
- Gnome / XFCE / Other
- vim
To check/set:
- launchpad login, possibly passing the authentication and the SSH
key somehow to the vagrant file
- dimension of the VM to make sure it's not too small
PS. I get 6 failures running the tests though, as

Failed example:
user_2.preferred_address = anne
