On Windows NT, 2000, 2003 and XP this generally works as well, although you'll find that some command line applications specifically written for Windows don't bother with a return code.
I can't comment about Windows 95, 98 or ME.
The os.system call (which works on both Unix and Windows) returns the correct status code.
