You can have Asterisk on any operating system you like, as long as it
is a proper operating system that actually deserves the name, that is
to say a system that belongs to the Unix family.

Unfortunately for you, Windoze is just about the only system that
hasn't been allowed to come home into the world of Unix, a leftover
legacy system from the last century, due to the infinite wisdom of
Messieurs Gates and Ballmer.

However, there is a workaround you can use. You can run a Linux kernel
called CoLinux inside Windoze and then run Asterisk inside that Linux
Kernel. There is even a package that installs everything for you, it's
called Astwind.

search the Wiki at http://www.voip-info.org for "Astwind" for more info in this.
