Hey Nathan, it should be possible without much work, programming the arduino is the same you just download the windows version of the arduino IDE off the arduino site here: http://arduino.cc. As for the computer side software the way the computer side works is that you first read the data from the arduino with the ArduinoComm program and then access the data with a graphing program like KST. KST for windows can be downloaded here: http://kst.kde.org/. I havent tried to run ArduinoComm in windows yet but I imagine a couple of things would need to be changed to port it over to windows. If you have a look for tutorials on installing and starting with Java Development Kit that would probably be a good point to start, once youve got programs compiling and running then converting arduinoComm to run on windows hopefully wont be too much work.
Good luck with your project
