Not that I've tried it yet, but this is what TFM says about it:

"You can use the protected mode version of the IDE while running Windows. To
do so, first load TKERNEL.EXE with the command:
	TKERNEL hi=yes kilos=nnnn

where nnnn is the number of Kbytes to be managed by the kernel. We suggest 
kilos=2048. The remaining extended memory is available for Windows and other
programs. Then run Windows in standard mode (type the command WIN /s). With
Windows in standard mode, you can't run the IDE in a virtualized DOS window,
but only as a full screen.

You can run the protected mode IDE in Windows in standard or real mode, not
in enhanced mode"

	The above is quoted verbatim from pg. 5, USERS GUIDE. So yes,
it can be run in Windows so long as the proper steps are taken ahead of
time. Hope this helps.
