Fabian answered:

Of course. I know some people who use Nitro on Windows. It had few issues in the past, but should work usually.

What you need: Ruby for Windows: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/

And preferable RubyGems which can install all other Nitro dependencies: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126

I would highly recommend "Ruby-one-click-installer" for windows. It installs and configures ruby, ri, rdoc, irb(with fixed keyb layout) and gems too.

After that, get to windows comman line (win+r->"cmd"->run) and write the following command:

gem install nitro -y

..as nitro currently has a lot of dependencies, -y flag answers yes to all of them.

later, you might want to join us on irc (irc.freenode.net #nitro) to grab and use a bleeding edge repository version.
