Quoting that page,
"The installation procedure is simple and is nearly identical for UNIX/Linux
and Mac OS X. We are no longer supporting the Windows platform with
our distribution, so you will have to build your own Python eggs if you
want to install it on Windows (see Admin/Config/Windows for some tips).
Of course, Windows users can use our public Galaxy server from their
browsers."
Right now you *can't* install Galaxy on Windows. Only if you were an
experienced Python developer with cross-platform experience would
it even be worth trying.
The idea is you just run a web-browser on your (Windows) Laptop,
and connect to Galaxy running on a (Linux) server. Just like you
should be able to use your (Windows) Laptop to connect to the
public Galaxy at
