Yes - assuming you don't have all the compilers and stuff to compile
your own libraries (and therefore need to use the Windows installers),
using Windows with Python 2.4 and Numeric 24.2 with BioPython 1.42
should be fine.

Personally I use Python 2.4 on Linux (as shipped with the distribution)
and Python 2.3 on my Windows machine.

Both work fine with BioPython and Numeric - although I have not used
Bio.PDB very much.
