No. Uses a different kind of processor.
There is a limited simulator that you can get as part of XCode though.

Hang on, are you asking if you can install the upgrade your iPhone to the beta OS using a non-mac computer?

Apparently you need a mac to install OS 4, I think installing it via Windows gives you errors.
Just read through the comments here:

OS 4 betas are for registered, paid-up, iPhone developers only. You can only develop on a Mac. Therefore Apple only spend resources on making the betas install correctly on a Mac.
That said a paid-up developer would have access to the notes that go with the current release that offer a method to backup beta 2 devices (and I suspect therefore install) on a Windows machine. As the OP does not know what this is it appears he is using illegally obtained software.
