No, it is not cross-platform; little in Plan 9 is. I may as well warn
you now that Plan 9 is very much minimalistics and does not come with
an archive of tens of thousands of utilities to duplicate tasks that
one can perform with a little learning using much simpler command line
tools. And that is just a small aspect that may well surprise you.

Go has created a new paradigm (not to everybody's liking,
understandably) by enforcing portability, but like Plan 9, does not
focus on fancy graphics, so the applications tend to be more services.

That said, burning an ISO image onto a CD under Windows cannot be such
a challenge, it has been an available feature for decades. I do note
that CDs and DVDs are disappearing form shop shelves even here in
Africa.
