GnuCash is not developed on (or for) Windows.  Last I heard someone
attempted to build gnucash on windows and was able to get it to
compile after a lot of work, but the resulting application didn't run.

Quite honestly your best bet (at least if you want this in the next,
oh, 6-12 months) is to use VNC.  Yes, it requires a "server" machine
running Linux to be the VNC server, but it's something you can do
today.

We don't have many (any?) windows developers, so nobody is really
working hard on a port to windows....
