Well, there is some kind of preview: You could use David Kastrup's preview-latex but you need a CVS Emacs for windows because the stable release of windows Emacs does not support images: I would suggest that you install MikTeX and AUC TeX by following this instruction and then use MikTeX's DVI-viewer.
