Minor clarification. Puppet supports --listen on Windows, i.e. when executing `puppet agent --listen`. But not when installed as a service using the daemon.rb wrapper (which is the out-of-the-box configuration). The reasons for this are memory usage issues associated with long running ruby processes[1], security implications of a network server running as LocalSystem, etc. So it is possible to change the "Puppet Agent" service to run something different, but it's not something that I would encourage due to the problems mentioned above. The long term plan is to deprecate puppet kick[2] in favor of using mcollective (mcollective 2.0 supports Windows)[3]. There is also an executable installer[4] from the community.
