Apparently, Windows 10 supports pIqaD natively. I've been told this,
though I haven't confirmed it myself. However, I saw this tweet
earlier:

He uses the pIqaD font found here:
<http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnste/archive/2013/05/20/piqad-font-for-bing-s-klingon-translator.aspx>,
which uses Everson's Unicode code points. Interestingly, it includes a
web font. Without a corresponding input method editor, the font is of
limited use. Has anybody written one?
I've got the latest Windows 10 preview build, but I don't know how he
got pIqaD to appear in that Command Prompt window. There is no
localization for Klingon. I suspect this was a developer's joke.
The font creator has more blog posts about Klingon on Windows here:
