Suggesting to change your OS when you're on Windows is indeed bad advice. Clozure Common Lisp is a fine CL implementation for Windows and works well enough with Emacs and Slime. Emacs shouldn't be too much of a problem with version 23 and some sane Windows-oriented keybindings and CUA mode enabled. Perhaps someone (maybe me when I've got the time) should just put a good Emacs configuration online for people wanting to play with CCL, Emacs & Slime. Then again, Lispbox might be good enough as well. I've never checked it out.
