It's worth mentioning that Django appears in the Python Tools for Visual Studio (it's one of the default project templates)[1]. There's recent introductory material on deploying Django applications to Windows Azure[2] and Windows Server 2008[3], though it seems the older material at least explicitly recommends MySQL and not SQL Server. I don't know if this is the kind of thing that leads to demand among Windows folks for Windows support for Django, and if any significant fraction of them want to use MSSQL with Django, but Django is certainly becoming mainstream for them.
