It should be possible to run Self in Windows, but I have never tried it. If you look at the download section of http://www.merlintec.com:8080/Self/ you will see that the link for the Windows version is the same as for the Linux one. That is because they are actually the same and you run it in Windows with the Cygwin porting library/tool. That is hardly trivial to do, so you might have better luck rebooting your machine into Linux with a CD-only distribution like Knoppix and then trying the Self version instead. In fact, I suspect this might be the case even if you have never seen Linux before.
As an alternative, you might check out "Self: The Movie;" that is now available from the page I indicated above. Steve Dekorte complained that it isn't working for him, so in case it is a DNS problem you can also try http://200.206.134.137:8080/Self/
Please note that the upload bandwidth is very limited (128Kbps) and the files will be moved to a better site soon and that page will be updated to reflect this.
There were many papers about Self that you can read. See http://research.sun.com/self/papers/papers.html
