No, unfortunately, the GNOME stuff underneath hasn't been ported to Windows
(this may get easier with the upcoming port of Evolution to GTK+ 2.0, but it
hasn't happened to date).

That'd be the best way - big bummer that you can't drag'n'drop files on and
off it, though. Things like that are painful (and you need a bloody good X
server too).
There have been some nibbles for porting GNOME stuff to Windows, to achieve
the same kind of advantage that OpenOffice has... Hook 'em where they're
comfortable, let them know it's even better on a Free platform.
