Quicktime Pro im sure you can buy that for windows.

There is one called Avid Professional DV Editing for the enthusiast

I don't think QuickTime Pro is a good video editor.
Avid Free is good, but a very steep learning curve.
I would suggest Adobe Premiere Elements. An excellent video editing tool that is under $100. It even has built in DVD burning!
Make sure that you use the PAL settings since you are in the UK rather than the USA.

Yes... Quicktime Pro works well on WIndows...not a great editor by any means, but it does work. I agree with the tractor driver..Adobe is better.... a mega d/l even on highspeed... but a good one nonetheless.

I couldn't agree more with tractordriver88 , Adobe Premiere Elements is a fantastic package

Yes! If you have the money, I would suggest the Adobe Production Studio. But if your going to run a business off video editing like I have, might need to look into a Mac.
