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.

Yes. KSTARS is included and works in Windows just as well as with your favorite Linux desktop.
20 minutes after reading the article I downloaded & installed it onto my WinXP side.
I know 20 mins is a long time but I humbly ask for consideration. I was waiting to pick up my son and was reading OSNews on my PDA Phone. It took a few minutes to get home, so any slack is appreciated.
On the plus side, I read a previous comment that stated this appryoach may not earn new users for Linux in general. I have to say that I definitely DO think this will help linux adoption.
Why? People will probably be interested in seeing Linux in action because they'd be interested in seeing the KDE Desktop in Linux. The environment it is designed for.
My hat tips to the KDE Team for their efforts.
Bravo!
