While not supported it does work (with a few tweaks). Have a peek at https://github.com/test-kitchen/test-kitchen/issues/325. Its far from a bullet proof implementation, but It has allowed me to test Windows using test-kitchen for a couple of months now. I'm not sure how well this works with something other than WinSSHD.

It's still pretty early days for testing on Windows, so you're right,
Test Kitchen doesn't currently support Windows. However this is what I
do:

Prior to getting test-kitchen working we used a combination of Vagrant with the vagrant-windows plugin, as well as a shell scripts wrapped around knife which would provision cloud instances and execute the tests. Getting it working under test-kitchen was a much nicer experience than either of those approaches.
