No. iMessage is an app for iOS and there is no PC version.

HI,
Messages can use AIM names (Or names valid as AIM Screen Names like @mac.com and @me.com ending ones)
On a PC you could use AIM for PC or Trillian (A multi-services App) and Chat.
It is supposed to Video but I have not tested this side yet (to AIM on a PC)
The Trillian App has a pay for Add-on called "Pro" that allows Video and Audio Chat (also Untested)
Text Only chats can be done between an Jabber or Google ID on Messages and a Jabber or the Google Talk app on a PC. (in this case Messages is Mac Only to iChat or Messages for Video and Audio Chats)
As Allan says though, the iMessages side can not be done to PC users.
