Where does it say this would not be possible?

It is of course possible everywhere! ;)

Only thing probably not that easy on windows is to do it in a 
optimal/most efficient way. On linux it is possible (by symlinks) to 
fetch and keep all the objects only once and use that in mutiple working 
directories.

Of course you can clone/pull/merge TYPO3v4 Core as often as you want on 
windows (as well as everywhere else)!

git clone --recursive #typo3v4core# #dirv4-3#
git clone --recursive #typo3v4core# #dirv4-5#
# cd #dirv4-3# and checkout TYPO3_4-3
# cd #dirv4-5# and checkout TYPO3_4-5

works exactly the same as with svn!
(on linux/with symlinks it can be done more efficiently, saving some MB 
of disk space and bandwith)

Greets and hth,
Peter
