Actually, Rhys Hawkins of ANU contributed changes that make QuickBridge work on Windows, and that code has been committed to cvs. The resulting QuickBridge executable can be downloaded from here:
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/software/releases/2.3/patches/QuickBridge.exe Download the executable, save it to a suitable location (most likely the AG install dir), and reference it in your BridgeServer config file, and it should work fine. I have tested QuickBridge/BridgeServer on Windows to confirm that it works, but nothing beyond that. I'll be interested to hear feedback on how well it works. Thanks Rhys!
