While this is anecdotal, I think you might find a different perspective from user group organizers. I've encountered many user group members over the years who run PHP on Windows. It's more common that they develop on Windows and deploy to Linux, but I do know those who also deploy to Windows in production.

That's not to say I personally think that Windows support is a must-have for JIT, but it's definitely important for many of the people in the user groups I've worked with.
