Of course the idea to port OpenFoam to Windows platforms is very reasonable. But it has to be done properly and, sorry, this is not the case. I tried to install the recommended OpenFoam-1.5.00b-wininst.exe package twice on two different Windows XP machines in various locations and always crashed with numerous messages such as "Error opening file for writing" in the \doc\Doxygen\html directory. I asked the initiator of the project for advice - no response so far.

Wonderful. Post-processing seems to work better if you replace the packaged Paraview 3.4 with Paraview 3.8 and use the *.foam extension.

I'd like to give it a thumbs up because OpenFOAM is awesome, But I had problems with getting paraFoam, or as shown in the program paraview to work at all. It seems that following the user guide ver 1.5 which is slmost the same as 1.6 isn't straightforward and not getting paraview to work is a serious limitation. IT would be great if the program was test driven some more, especially for a nOOb like me. If you are the developer a short simple serious of instructions such as click this then this etc following along with the user guide would make this REALLY useful.
