Yeah, Windows users! The 2.6 release introduced preliminary support for Windows (limited to just managing files).
http://www.puppetlabs.com/2dot6/ The ticket you found provides a good view of the work we have completed and are targeting for the release. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8268 In particular, we will be adding providers for file, exec, user, group, service, etc types. Some of these providers have already been implemented, others are actively being worked on. If you are interested in trying it out, you can download the source for facter and puppet from github (ignore the step about installing puppet and facter as gems as described in the wiki). Lets us know if you run into any issues. Josh -- "Join us for PuppetConf <http://bit.ly/puppetconfsig>, September 22nd and 23rd in Portland, OR."
