The current status is visible from the Wiki web page, and from the 
dsource bindings repository. In summary:

* Almost everything included by windows.h has now been converted. The 
only exceptions are the rpc stuff, which requires a big chunk of the COM 
code to be converted.
* Some of the macros and bit fields in structs haven't been converted 
yet -- but most have.
* During the conversion, many bugs in the MinGW code have been 
discovered and fixed. (Most of those bugs relate to Windows versioning).
* It's not very well tested yet.
* I believe that it's very close to being a viable alternative to the 
Windows header in Phobos. Almost all of the functions in Phobos are 
included.
