There are a couple of issues to overcome in order to work in windows environments, the most important one is ansible that will never support windows as a Control Machine.

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_windows.html#using-a-windows-control-machine

One possible solution is to check for the availability of the ansible-playbook and if it's not present in the host machine run the ansible from inside the VM, very much like drupal-vm does,

The only other problem is the lack of good NFS support in windows, but using the virtual box filesystem solves the issue and as far as I understand vagrant will automatically switch to vboxfs when nfs is specified and not supported, but I could be mistaken and some action is required to achieve this.

The winnfsd project and similarly named vagrant plugin are still very unreliable and should not be recommended.
vboxfs does have a considerable performance penalty but seems to be the only reliable two way binding, SMB might be another but it needs to be explored.
