Sort of? In Windows, there's start which launches another command outside of your current CLI session. The down side is that the process isn't attached in any way to the window you launched it from so you don't get output sharing like you would in Linux.
An alternative to achieve this may be to use something like Cygwin which gives you (most of) bash on Windows. (Update 2020: Windows 10 has Windows Subsystem for Linux now. This allows you to run a good chunk of Linux on a Windows host.)
