Stefano recently ported it to work on any POSIX platform,
but obviously that still excludes Windows:

I'm unclear what blockers there are wrt Windows, but perhaps
Stefano (CC'd) can advise.
Personally, while I think vhost-user is a good option for the
vast majority of cases, I believe QEMU ought to natively
implement a simple self contained AF_UNIX backend for vsock,
avoiding need to depend on 3rd party software for its use.
With regards,
Daniel
