Yes.  As long as your program has a main function, DMD will spit out an executable.

Out of curiosity, what did you think it output? :)

short answer: yes

long answer: Download the official compiler package from digitalmars.com (or gdc), write your program and compile it with dmd mysource.d
 - that will get you an exe.

You can compile Windows programs in Linux, by using the MinGW compiler.

Some older precompiled packages are at http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net/
