It's not yet implemented in Condor. That said, I wouldn't advise just  
waiting for the next release: checkpointing on Windows is non-trivial,  
so to speak. It could certainly work, but is a major effort. I don't  
think there are plans to add it.

You might be able to get a similar but different effect with the  
virtual machine universe, since virtual machines can be suspended and  
resumed.
