"My two cents:

UltraEdit - a text editor I have been using for a while, opens large files with relative ease
baretail - a great tail program with highlighting and multiple tabs"

You can install Cygwin and use all the usual Linux tools, including 'tail -f'.

"Not a GUI tool, but you can use PowerShell, too. Here's a link that will help:

Tail4Win might be exactly what you're looking for but it ain't free.

Consider WinTail - it'll perform all the Tail functionality that you need, as well as handle large files.
