Squid runs on Windows from 2.3 version.

For some details, look here:

http://www.acmeconsulting.it/SquidNT.html

In the Squid 2.5 page, read carefully the Compatibility Notes and Known
Limitations section.

Currently, the 2048 FD limitations is the major problem: for a safe usage
you shouldn't have more than 100 - 200 users.

On the performance side, today I expect better performance on *nix systems.
