The new wxPython GUI runs on all platforms. I'm not sure, but it seems  
like the OSGeo4W automatically installs Python and wxPython so you  
don't have to do anything except switch the default GUI to run this.

It is interactive x monitors that do not run on windows. Modules that  
depend on old, interactive x-monitors are being phased out for all  
platforms in GRASS 7 and replaced by alternative methods of  
interacting with modules.

In the wxPython GUI, you can simultaneously query multiple maps.
