I know that Aegir states that Windows is not supported. However, has anyone has tried using it via Cygwin on a WAMP server? I suppose it would be much more likely to work if everything was in a Cygwin environment (i.e. Apache, PHP, and MySQL all running in Cygwin), but my setup uses native Windows installs of these.
Thought I'd ask before giving it a try....

Drush on windows
I read somewhere that aegir on windows is possible, didn't try it myself. But here's a link to install drush on windows. I think that is the most tricky part to get aegir ready on windows: http://drupal.org/node/594744
i'm not sure
it's definitely not supported.
the only thing that probably won't work is symlinks, and that's only used by the alias feature
afaik unix paths are automatically converted to windows paths () in php.
windows aliasing
(symlinks) ... in fact possible.
there have been windows server toolkits with the cmd tool for this behavior as well as a tool from, as I recall, sysinternals before they were MS acquired.
if desired I can do some digging in my archives.
