Yes. Though I think we currently build it with no GUI backends, so you can create plots, but you can only render them to PNG's. (You use savefig, I think.) It would be nice for a windows guru to fix things so that a GUI backend works. Presumably windows has a windowing library that works out of the box everywhere! :-). As far as I can tell, sympy, scipy, and numpy all work perfectly in sage-windows. Sympy gets you pretty far for symbolic computation. If you try import sympy sympy.<tab key> you'll see it has a lot of symbolic manipulation capabilities. It also has a plot command which does both 2d and 3d plots and works perfectly under windows.
