Developer’s Guide to Debugging by M. Wloka, et al.:

manipulating program code and data in a debugger instead of recompilation (pp. 153 - 161)

print GDB command (p. 154) - dv WinDbg command and also various variants of d command 

set var GDB command (p. 154 ) - e command variations in WinDbg; also r command to change registers or $retreg

call GDB command (p. 154) - .call command in WinDbg

getting out of functions ot skipping code (p. 154) - in WinDbg you can assemble nop, jump or ret opcodes for this purpose; also consider changing $ip

whatis GDB command (p. 159) - x, dt and dv WinDbg commands

x GDB command (p. 159) - d command variants in WinDbg

debugging without symbols (p. 161) - On Windows and with Visual C++ it is easy to handle as symbol files (.PDB) can be kept separately and even accessible from customer environments via public symbol servers
