Well, the discussion doesn't really pertain to Windows, since Windows doesn't ship with any of the tools needed to build IMP anyway (e.g. Python, boost, C++ compiler) so the user would have to download them separately from the OS (and there's no reason not for them to install a relatively new version of each, even if they have an old OS). MS is pretty good with backwards compatibility - all the latest tools will run on Windows 2000, which is over 10 years old now.
Nobody has tried Windows, I am almost certain, and I don't care too much.
We build and test on Windows as part of the nightly builds, and I know at least some people have used the binary installs.
