I would like to add that there is at least some off-list talk of some 
Windows vs Unix benchmarking for the 2010 exercise 
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Benchmarking_2010).  As the maintainer of 
MapServer 4 Windows (MS4W) I can tell you that the download/use 
statistics are staggering (very popular); it is used in production 
environments for both government and private industry.  I encourage you 
to give it a try (even though most developers on this MapServer mailing 
list are unix-based, don't let them scare you away from Windows, if you 
are more comfortable in that environment).

Hope this helps a little.
