Yes, I have installed it on Windows many times using both Cygwin and MinGW, 
and run it on Windows routinely.

Have you followed the instructions at 
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/CygwinInstallMain or 
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/MingwInstallMain?  Have you asked 
for help?  It is true that both Cygwin and MinGW and the required 
third-party libraries can change over time and cause things to stop working, 
but if you report problems to this list someone will try to help.
