I've heard no problem with Gnuk on Windows.  I only use Windows when I
file a tax report to the agency around February/March.  It's Windows
Vista 64-bit version with GPG4Win.  It works fine with Gnuk, with no
special driver.

Yuji has been busy promoting Gnuk Token in Japan.  I think that his
major OS is Windows something, and I got no complaint around his
friends.

Note that there is gnupg for Cygwin which is not compatible to use
smartcard/token or SSH feature of gpg-agent.
