Pascal de Bruijn used to compile a custom Ubuntu LiveCD with bleeding 
edge Darktable. I'm not sure if he still does, and I don't know is they 
also include GIMP, Photivo or any other photo processing/retouching 
application.

Fedora has a custom "design spin" with graphics software and there are 
other distros with liveCDs with plenty of graphics packages.

I'd avoid windows. Although it's a system with a huge userbase (this 
also applies to free software for graphics), the performance and DE 
experience is generally inferior than gnu/linux's.

Apart from that, most of the windows installs you'll find are 32 bit, 
which is likely to be insufficient for high resolution image processing.
