It might, but you'd probably have to do a heap of tweaking. The
sgml-tools package is a mixture of the nsgmls package (which may or
may not run under Windows), Perl, LaTeX and other assorted stuff.

That shouldn't be the only thing to motivate you to run Linux! Did you 
read the article that said that Microsoft admitted to 65,000 bugs in
Win2K? My guess is there's more, but the bug tracking system hit 16
bit overflow.
