Not yet. People are working on it and progress is being made, but there's
nothing end-user-usable yet.

In the meantime you could consider using OpenOffice.org
(http://www.openoffice.org) for a free software spreadsheet on windows
platforms.

No. Gnumeric is a part of GNOME Office, but it is not a required component
of GNOME, so machines can have a GNOME installation on them without having
gnumeric installed.

It's reasonable to assume that gnumeric is available for just about every
Linux distribution that offers GNOME though.

"other" as opposed to what?

Gnumeric is packaged for Debian GNU/Linux, for Mandrake, Red Hat, Connectiva
and other RPM based distributions, and presumably others as well.
