Puppet has to understand how to do things on target platforms, for example how to create a user. Whilst Puppet might run as a daemon currently it doesn't know how to perform actions like creating a user or group on Windows. However, there is some code in development to support Windows. Assuming all goes smoothly it will be in the next beta release for 0.25.0.
