You might also want to explore running PostgreSQL on windows. Currently
you can use Cygwin to stably run the current version of Pg. There is
also a native windows port on the way, if it's for development uses you
might want to test the beta.

Transact-SQL is actually Sybase's and MS SQL Server's dialect of SQL.
Perhaps you're referring to the use of COPY instead of INSERT
statements? If so see the help for pg_dump as you can have data dumped
as individual inserts (the -d and -D switches).
You'll probably have to do some editing of the dump by hand as well; to
change sequences to MySQL's auto_increment, remove any schema usages,
etc. I'm unaware of any automated tools as not many people migrate in
that direction ;).
