I think so. It works as a "VMware virtual appliance", which
you download here:

   http://sagemath.org/SAGEbin/microsoft_windows/

I believe vmware works fine in Vista, XP, 2000, and many
other flavors of Windows.

Actually, the SAGE "vmware appliance" mentioned above is
just a minimal install of Ubuntu into a pre-made vmware
machine, along with an install of Sage.

Yes, definitely.   Using FORTRAN from Sage is well supported.
I'm not saying it is trivial to learn how to do it, but the
technology is very much there.   You can even use FORTRAN
directly in the Sage GUI.  There are some examples here:

Yes, Sage does.  We have our own new -- completely open source and
optimized -- graph isomorphism tester, which is an implementation of
the same algorithm as the one in Nauty.   It can also compute
automorphism groups of graphs.  The implementation is due
to Robert Miller (a graduate student at University of Washington).
