Given enough firmware and driver support there's no reason why Windows and Linux should be any different---they certainly aren't on x86. Right now Windows on ARM is just tablets and hence RT; but things might change for server-based ARM. So Windows support as a VM should definitely be on the table, but so is writing custom drivers: you certainly will be able at some point to build virtio drivers for ARM, and use them with this spec.
