Seems like Microsoft has licensed a Windows port:
The Whistler Music Synthesizer
http://research.microsoft.com/srg/whistmusic/
looks like a straight port of the Mac OS Classic version.
The blurb is ridiculously fake:
"To demonstrate the potential of Microsoft's Whistler speech technology for musical applications, a novel music synthesizer was designed."
geez, VocalWriter actually has existed since 1997 !!

It has a clean OOP syntax, probably the best of all.
It has medium type checking, slightly less forgiving than PHP.
has a built-in abstracted native and ODBC database API.
It has a built-in application and persistent scope which rivals PHP6 + APC cache. This gives it a dramatic performance advantage.

and in the near future we will be restoring audio/midi functionality with CoreAudio and CoreMidi.
Moreover, a rewrite of the realtime audio filtering with the Steinberg VST SDK and Apple's CoreAudio AudioUnit technology is making progress.
Restoring Steinberg ASIO output is also possible, and will be worked on as soon as possible.

That's really incredible considering that two years have gone by since the last reference release.
It just hangs on startup, and has to be force-quit.

Still a very rough beta...
Too bad it can't be tested side by side with Safari 2.
I'm going to stick with version 2 for my own use and use the Windows beta for web development testing.
The Windows version is a lot better (deserves 5 stars)
