I am a pure windoze developer too but still decided to use apache on windows server to host subversion. It was not too difficult to setup (even though I had no experience of apache before), the hardest bit was getting to grips with LDAP so I could use mod_ldap for authentication against our Active Directory forest... VisualSVN does it all for you but I wanted to learn and understand.

Don't give up, try it out and learn new stuff! Make sure you read the subversion book at red-bean and the TortoiseSVN help file which is also very good.
