Push technology: is there an open source implementation for windows?

I recently read about modern technology. Using its real-time streaming is very simple. I also saw an implementation called ajax push engine, but it works on Linux or a Mac server. I wanted to use this technology on asp.net.

So, is there any open source push technology implementation available for direct use on the Windows platform?

MethodWorx
MethodWorx was developed from this article in the Draft Code articles . It is licensed by Open Source.

This is a packaged version of the library that we used in some projects to enable COMET polling or Long polling in some of our ASP.NET applications.

It uses an asynchronous HTTP handler to connect ASP.NET to wait for events by enabling real-time AJAX callbacks.
