4 years ago Well. I was about to give you a plain "no". But while I'm not inclined to look into it, somebody else might be, so here's the long answer:
First of all, I'm not familiar at all with the infrastructure Windows offers for this kind of thing, so I'm not sure about any of this.
However as far as I know, the problem on Windows is that there is no unified interface for accessing temperature sensors and/or to control fans. That is why you end up with these crappy hardware monitoring tools made by each manufacturer independently, with the Asus tool controlling only the Asus fans and MSI tool controlling only the MSI fans, etc.
Now thinkfan uses the Linux sysfs to basically do everything. In sysfs, every temperature sensor and every controllable fan is simply a file you can read from and/or write to. This is the unified interface I'm talking about and it's the reason we don't have to write any hardware-specific code. Now in theory it is of course possible to give thinkfan a bazillion different hardware drivers for every GPU, mainboard or whatever that's out there. But it's precisely this lack of standardization and coherence that is the reason I'm not using Windows. On the other hand, there's of course a lot more manpower there, so doing all the hardware interfacing manually might actually be feasible if enough people come together.
