I'm running several repositories off a Win2K3 server hosted under
VMWare ESX (not sure of the exact version). I've had zero trouble,
using Apache. The repositories themselves are actually on a drive
which is mounted from our SAN as a local drive for the VM.
But we're nowhere near the size organization you describe. Small user
base, all in one location. We've had no unplanned downtime for
Subversion since I implemented it 3 years ago (original implementation
was on a Win2K physical server, the VM came up about 2 years ago).

I haven't had any time-related issues, but we keep that server (and
almost all of our other servers) synced to a central time server via
NTP or whatever NT domains use.
YMMV, etc.
