A new version of Tinderbox (7.5) is out and introduces significant new visual features as well as making notes, outlines, and maps easier to manage.

The feature set (new and existing) is so long that it is hard to describe and grasp the complexity of Tinderbox. In a good sense, it is Mathematica for note taking.

It is highly unlikely that there will ever be one.
The number of developers is a finite resource (it seems n=1) and there are so many non-standard functions that will need to be coded from scratch that making a Windows version translates into basically putting the Mac version on hold. I have no inside knowledge but considering how much Mark has continually pushed the boundary over the years I do not expect to be proven wrong.
It is like trying to hit a moving target from a platform that is anything but stationary itself.

I think this is absolutely correct.
