Have a look at GRASSS (grass.itc.it)

It pay be a bit painfull to learn (maybe not more thatn any of its
proprietary counterparts), as it is quite complex.

It runs natively on Un*x, runs on windows over cygwin and there is a
port to windows, but I don't know its state. Maybe MarkusN could know
better.
