A: 

From the Chef FAQ:

How is it different than Cfengine?

A: 

I don't know much about Chef, just been reading their web site, and I'm quite familiar with Cfengine; so take my answer with a grain of salt.

From what I gathered, the main difference is that Cfengine runs on both Linux/Unixes and Windows, while Chef only support Linux/Unixes.

As of version 0.8.14, Chef has preliminary support for Windows: http://www.opscode.com/blog/2010/05/07/chef-0-8-14-release/
