Yes and no. Windows 10 has some tiling wm features, try win-leftarrow, win-rightarrow, win-uparrow and win-downarrow.

But for Vista, I've had a daily driver with every version of Windows since 3.1. Windows 10 is a big step forward with multiple desktops. It's not comparable to Xmonad in my use case because of:
1. Xmonad's predictability.
2. Xmonad's ability to keyboard shortcut between window configurations.
3. Xmonad utilizing home position keys rather than the arrows for primary manipulation.
Anyway, the alternatives I see mentioned for Windows are based around AutoHotKey.
