That's not really what I'd recommend for windows people, though.
I'd say two things:

1)  Since this image will install a complete linux distro, you can
install any Linux GUI programming IDE you want.
(we should specify this in the CG where we discuss the windows
iso)

2)  I don't know what the current favorite fancy IDE is, although
I'm fairly certain that Eclipse runs on Linux.  I'm not certain if
that would actually be good for LilyPond, though -- does it
support C++ and makefiles?  IIRC eclipse is for java stuff.

(again, I'm happy to dump whatever suggestions people throw at me
in the CG)
