Why on earth would you want to run it on Windows?  First off, your
performance is going to go down because of the GUI... oh your call
quality just went down the toilet?  Yeah sorry the screen saver just
kicked in.   Having issues making calls?  Oh sorry we had to reboot
for a critical update.   Yeah I know audio isn't working right, the
swap file is a little large right now, we need to reboot.

Are you on crack?!?!   Asterisk runs well on Linux because of the lack
of a GUI... sleek simple interface (text) to it.   Linux is free,
windows adds a license cost.   Since you shouldn't be running any
other applications on the server anyway, why not just install Linux? 
Trying to run it on windows seems like a bad idea to me.
