I'm not totally sure which 3D apps have a networkable rendering engine available for them, but 3DS max may. *shrug*

MySQL and Apache run perfectly fine on Windows ;-). I'm being crazy and working on a scoring system for BE in Apache/PHP/MySQL, and so far it's coming along great. Of course, I can't use my Linux server to host it, because it'll be siting in my dorm room, so I'm using my laptop (which is running Windows), and it's all pretty easy. Of course, on a low end laptop, to run that on top of Windows, you may be overloading it.
