As far as I am aware, not really. :(

There's been some work getting some parts of RosPy to run a long time ago, and possibly some limited Cygwin success.

Here are some threads from ros-users that discuss this:

http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/Need-Help-Installing-ROS-in-Cygwin-on-Windows-td880700.html http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/RViz-on-Windows-td1021082.html http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/rospy-in-windows-td217019.html

This does not mean, however, that Windows systems are entirely useless. We show our Windows users how to use Putty to SSH into the linux computers on our robots and use the command line tools. While they do not get RVIZ or other graphical tools, it still allows them to launch code, echo topics, etc.
