In my experience generally yes, unless you can look at the Microsoft C API for Windows and smile.

The Qt C++ toolkit (and possibly WxWidgets) make things much less painful but all the fun stuff still requires the systems API or a library set to aggravate linking and distribution. Python is by far the least irksome language to do things with on Windows, that is also suitable for cross platform development. (Python == VERY good for writing portable code).
