Well there is unofficial, non-supported, version for Cygwin. There is no 
prebuilt binary for Cygwin. You need to install Cygwin, development 
tools, X11 server, Gnome-dev libs and planner sources, and a win32 patch 
for Planner if changes didn't made to CVS.

It's very slow (even on my Athlon 64 3000+ it's pretty slow to use), 
printing doesn't work and there is great possibility to have locked up 
gconf... Maybe it will be fullworking if gnomelibs are ported to Cygwin...

Another solution is to use coLinux (or BOCHS, or vmware) and real Linux 
version of Planner.

NOTE: Planner for Cygwin is pretty unstable and crippled since Gnome 
libraries aren't yet fully ported to Cygwin.
