Hi,
  Awsome stuff IMHO :) 
  But, I'd like to setup the same thing on Windows, including the use of one (or two) Wiimotes...
  Is there an alternative setup to OSCulator on Windows please, and would you be so kind to direct me to it, TIA!

Certainly there is a bit of a shortage of a nice OSC to MIDI converter on windows, I've got a bunch of libraries that could do OSC to MIDI in a 3D environment, sort of like a 3D OSCulator, that would be cool, hmmm might have a bash at that over the weekend.

Do you have pre-existing software in mind for the WiiMote->OSC and the Kinect->OSC? The telekinetic conductor demo was done with some software components that spoke a custom protocol, could alter them to speak OSC and get the whole thing moving.

What is your timescale for doing things?

Honestly, I'd like to setup one this Friday, but I wouldn't mind trying building it myself...it's just I don't know where to start...I've done some things on Windows using C# Kinect SDK (but I'll switch to C++ OpenNI if needed) and I've used the WiimoteLib for reading Wiimote motion, it's just that I've never used any of those with any kind of MIDI/OSC music generation software/libraries with it.
To tell you the truth, I'd prefer to keep it as simple as possible, thus WiiMote->OSC and Kinect->OSC and then to OSC->MIDI could be simplified directly to Wiimote/Kinect->MIDI if I could get the same effect as in your youtube video (maybe I should just install some hackintosh for the first time onto my laptop and try to build the same setup as yourself in the video, maybe that would be much easier, given my timeframe?).
And to answer your post, yep, it's me that posted in the comments bellow too (sry for the double trouble:).
