I don't think there'll ever be a standard on windows because
a) lack of interest from commercial site and we (kde/windows) are tired of trying to get our patches into official cvs but getting rejected every time because we did not implement it exactly the way the maintainers want to have it
b) the only reason why dbus/windows exist is because it is needed for kde4/win and I hope to get rid of the dbus dependency in the near future (although I currently don't know how to do so but I hope to get some high-level IPC stuff from Qt4.5)
