No, you won't have much luck with that. In order to use a RAID array for both Windows and Linux (and pretty much any other OS) is to use a hardware controller. The WinRAID you have there is software-dependent.

Configure the controlle as a standard drive controller, and use linux soft -raid to do the deed. Only problem is you won't be able to read the disk in windows I think. But this shouldn't matter, anyway.
Install dm-raid (synaptic I used), then mount the partitions of the raid.
Use fdisk -l to find the names of the partitioned drives.
eg, for me the command is:
sudo mount /dev/dm-1 /media/ntfs
This mounts the partition (my windows C drive) to /media/ntfs
ntfs is just a name I gave to place I wanted to put the mounted partition.
You might need to do mkdir /media/ntfs first.. or whatever you want to call it
I made a little script to mount my 3 raid partitions for me:
#!/bin/bash
sudo mount /dev/dm-1 /media/ntfs
sudo mount /dev/dm-2 /media/ntfs2
sudo mount /dev/dm-3 /media/ntfs3
Mad it executable and I can run it when I log on to mount my 3 raid partitions.
Been experimenting with adding this to the autostart but the need for sudo messes it up.
This is on a Asus P5W DH using the Intel Storage controller.
I can read write to the RAID from within Ubuntu and Vista, haven't killed it yet
