GNU TeXmacs
GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists. The software aims to provide a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content: text, mathematics, graphics, interactive content. TeXmacs can also be used as an interface to many external systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, and statistics. New presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be added to the editor using Scheme.

It runs perfectly well on windows with cygwin with X-11 and is included as an option in the cygwin installer.

Sure, there may be some bugs. Any help in order to correct them would be helpful.
Please suscribe to the developers mailing list (or contact me directly) for further discussion.
Project Website
I really like the look of the TexMacs' website. I was surprised to see that the meta tag said it was generated in TexMacs, but saw in the FAQ that you do export your TexMacs documents to generate the website. That's exciting to me for making web pages with MathML. However, I noticed many errors when I entered the website address in http://validator.w3.org/. Might that suggest that the export to HTML needs work?
Congrats to GNU TeXmacs

We are working on that; see http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/windows.en.html for an alpha-version.
