For all intents and purposes, I'd say yes. I also do not use windows, but I know that many Linux/GPL programs are available on Windows through Cygwin, just as many Windows programs are available to me through WINE. Here is some unrelated information you may also find useful: Playing Go is part art, part science, part calculation. A lifetime of study is required to achieve the level of skill in the game that computers also currently try to achieve. For learning such a difficult art/science/game, you could also just move to Chengdu in China. There are all-day weiqi-playing cafes there, as part of a cultural legacy lost in other Chinese cities, and if I may say so on such a public list, there are not enough of us English-speaking geeks in what is arguably the world's most geek-positive economy.
