I'm not sure why you would *want* to run Apache on Windows, but I'm certain 
that it would have the same options as *nix where possible.  If you're 
insistent in running a web server on Windows, Apache is probably the better 
choice, though.

The problem with Windows is that the concept of running servers as 
unprivileged users or starting a daemon as root and then dropping 
privileges doesn't correspond one to one with the *nix security model.
