iMovie has a feature that allows the user to insert subtitles. It's not very advanced (i.e., don't expect it to look like professional video), but it gets the job done in a pinch.
You'll have to import your .mov file as a clip, then manipulate it from there. Within iMovie, the subtitles option is under Editing > Titles, then scroll down.

Seems like soft subtitling is most often done with MKV files these days (at least, that's what I always see), and if you're willing to go that route yes, there is Windows software available. I can't tell you WHAT software, but it does exist.
On the mac, have a look at Miyu:

...it can add subtitles to any file that Quicktime can open, and then export to a variety of formats. I've used it successfully on a couple of projects, it's free, and once you get used to the interface it's pretty easy to use.
