Sam -
Depending on what you're teaching and what kind of collaboration you do
in your writing, you may feel that you're stuck using MS Windows.  If
so, CYGWIN is a FREE set of tools that you can use on Windows that'll
give you a lot of *NIX functionality while still running Windows. (After
you get familiar with *NIX this way, you'll probably realize that you
are NOT stuck with MS Windows, and you'll want to do as Horacio suggests
above).

I haven't check into the status of GnuPG on CYGWIN, but I've had good
luck compiling other *NIX tools on CYGWIN. I'd suspect that, if pre-
compiled binaries for GnuPG on CYGWIN aren't available, you could compile
the sources yourself pretty easily (gcc comes with the "full" CYGWIN
download).
