I've been trying (not very hard, admittedly) to add a little spark to that glimmer. I haven't had much time as I am in the midst of changing assignments at work, but I have gotten so far as to see a bunch of ld errors when the build script tries to make shared libraries for Zope's C extensions. The problem is very likely a mixture of path setup problems on my machine and a great dearth of understanding on my part on how Cygwin is used to build shared libraries (err, DLL's in Windows-speak). Hopefully I will get the opportunity to learn more about all this and find out what's really going on. If anybody else has had any experience I most heartily encourage you to share, Zope on cygwin could be a great alternative to those of us without access to Linux or Developer Studio trying to find useful things to do while at work! Thanks, John Miller DDASC x1219

There aren't any any alpha binaries for any platform. This is intentional. You must be able to compile your own to get an alpha working. Binaries are provided for betas.
Unfortunately this means we seldom hear from the Windows crowd (other than a few hard core windows folks with compilers) due to the expensive nature of most windows compiler products.
There is, however, a glimmer of hope with cygwin. If you can get Zope to compile with cygwin and gcc, then you're on. Please pass on your experiences if you do.
If I had Windows, I'd give it a go myself.
