The KDE desktop environment is going cross-platform with support for the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. In addition to porting the core KDE libraries and applications, developers are also porting popular KDE-based software like the Amarok audio player and the KOffice productivity suite.

I believe its long been known that KDE 4 was being natively ported over to OS X and Windows.
The Windows version will just get the libraries and the ability to run KDE apps, not receive the full desktop environment. I'm sure its possible to the full desktop environment but you'll probably need Cygwin and Win32 X Servers.
For those who are wondering: I believe this move is good for FOSS but bad for Linux adoption.
