There's nothing stopping you. What would be stopping you is if Windows included DRM that stopped you running all GPL programs apart from Microsoft Official Builds™.

Well, I wasn't clear that it would still be allowed under the interpretation the GP was advocating for. Perhaps they need to flesh out their position.

I'm largely thinking about the current situation with ZFS on Linux. IMO, this benefits no one, and so I'd generally like to see less draconian interpretations of what code is allowed to link together—but more licenses which protect other user freedoms, like the ability to run your own code.

This is why Apple is so scared of GPL3 on iPhones/iPads.
