I did some brief testing on one of the Windows 8 preview releases and
couldn't find any issues at all. Haven't tried Windows 2012 yet, but
wouldn't expect to see any issues there either (Windows is a very stable
platform when it comes to backwards compatibility). As far as EDB are
concerned, we'll consider the installers to be fully supported on those
platforms.

Microsoft don't need to donate boxes, they can setup their own build
farm members and contribute directly.

Postgres runs a distributed build farm that anybody can join, no fees,
no restrictions.
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/register-form.pl

Community assistance would be available to help.

Well, I tried this and it showed a proper error:

$ pg_restore --create --verbose -U yy --dbname=testserver /rtmp/xx
pg_restore: connecting to database for restore
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] connection to database "testserver" failed: 
FATAL:  role "yy" does not exist
