Could you specify what kind of window do you need?
As in a regular Windows window, for example when you open up IE
or a program. The container of the program itself,
non-command-line.
The short answer: the same way you do it in C or C++. You just
need to use bindings to the C or C++ libraries out there. D can
interface directly with the Win32 API and the bindings for it are
in DRuntime (the core.sys.windows as Rikki suggested). If all you
need is to develop on Windows, that's a safe option. If you need
a complete, cross-platform GUI toolkit, there are D bindings for
Gtk (GtkD) and SWT (DWT). If you don't need all the bells and
whistles like tabs, menus, editor panes and the like, then you
can use SDL or GLFW (see DerelictSDL2 and DerelictGLFW3 for
bindings), which are oriented toward games and, in GLFW's case,
OpenGL.
