I would not recommend using any express editions if you really want to get the best performance out of a server platform unless you're willing to go through all the hoops to install the x64 compilers from the Windows SDK. Most modules should build just fine on Windows, post a startup log on which components failed to load. And no, FreeSWITCH works just as fine as any other Linux platform does currently.
