It's not a question of whether it is possible, because it certaintly is possible to at least get the GUI and basic video file watching working, at least from a theoretical standpoint, certain things would need to be ported, notably, hardware related things like CD detection, and also, paths and such would need to be adjusted for Windows. I don't have a PC so I can't really help you there, but we'd accept patches.
