Yes it does work on Windows; Pidgin uses it.

Currently released versions of Pidgin use GtkSpell 2.0.11, which uses
aspell directly instead of enchant.  There is a binary available for
download here:
http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin/Pre2.7.0#GtkSpellAspell

The next minor version of Pidgin will use GtkSpell 2.0.16 and enchant.
 There is a binary available for download here:

Feel free to ask any specific implementation questions.
