I'm hardly an expert on webserver configuration, but I would make the following comments regarding the Windows platform requirement:
- You should be able to continue to use SQL Server. Django has an ado_mssql backend (that the FAQ doesn't mention). This backend uses the python adodbapi package to provide database functionality. I have never used this backend myself (not having access to an SQL Server install), so I can't comment on stability, performance, etc.
- Apache and PostgreSQL both have Windows versions; as far as I am aware, they are slightly less efficient under Windows than they are under Unix (mostly due to threading and filesystem inefficiencies), but they still compare favourably with their Microsoft analogs when running under Windows.
Of course, YMMV, this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it, etc.

-- How much stability/efficiency do we lose by running Django and
PostgreSQL on Windows? (If it comes to it, is Apache worth a big
fight?)
-- Is it possible to run a mirror configuration for load-balancing,
like we do right now? Does it even make sense to do that?
I'm also assuming from the documentation that staying with SQL Server
2005 is not an option if we want to use Django. (Not that I want to,
but if I'm wrong could someone please correct me.)
