WCF is part of the .NET Framework as of 3.0. I would assume that any Windows system that can run .NET 3.0 should be able to run WCF. Having said that, a little googling provides the following information:
For minimum requirements, I would say (based on experience and some googling):
Windows XP SP2/Windows Server 2003 R2/SP1
IIS 5.1
