Nayeem,

I've no experience running DHIS 2 in a Windows *production* environment,
but have installed it to windows laptops from 7 to 10 over the years with
success, but those were for demonstration or development instances where
running Virtual Box (with Ubuntu/CentOS) was not an option. As long as you
get the software stack working, all the functionality should be in there.

Take a look at the spec suggestion here:
http://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/implementer/html/ch08s02.html
And add another 1GB of RAM *at least* to run windows. More if the windows
box has any other jobs to do.

I'd say some of the risks are a whole lot less documentation on how to
install and run it on Windows. It is more expensive: you need a windows
license and a slightly larger machine (and VPS windows hosting is typically
more expensive).

If it is the older version of 2008 (and not 2008R2), make sure that the
latest software packages like postgres, tomcat, java (1.8 *required*) will
install properly to "Vista" as 2008 is roughly analogous to Windows Vista
(2008R2 is roughly analogous to Windows 7).
