FIRST has announced that teams are getting a Classmate PC netbook in the KoP in 2010 to use as their driver station. Depending on what operating system is installed on it and how everything works out, you may be able to program your robot using that computer.

But even if a version of Linux is installed on it as the default OS for use as the driver station, the current generation Classmate PC ships with a 60Gb internal HDD. This is easily enough to create a second partition to install Windows and the bare essentials for programming the robot. They also have a built-in SD card reader, so you can purchase something like a 16Gb or 32Gb SDHC card and boot Windows off that while leaving the internal HDD alone.
