All things CVS can be found at their offical website, http://www.cvshome.org, and a good place to learn about its features, download interfaces and patches, and read the CVS FAQs is at http://www.cvshome.org/docs/
"There are two ways to run CVS on Windows 95/NT. The first is as a client, talking to a CVS server on a Unix box. This is the
recommended setup and is commonly used.
The second way is known as "local" or "non-client/server" CVS. This lets you run CVS if you have only Windows machines. However,
due to issues (a) with local CVS on Windows, and (b) with the suitability of Windows as a server operating system in general,
we would generally recommend this more to try out CVS and get a feel for it rather than for production use." If you still dare, http://www.cvshome.org/dev/codewindow.html has the binaries and source code for people wishing to run an all-windows system

I have been using CVS for years, and I find that I'm most comfortable running both the server and clients for CVS on a linux machine. You may want to try out the windows versions, and the interfaces for them, but I will not be covering them here, so buyer beware. If you stick to using the windows client in text-mode only, you'll find things remarkably similiar.
