For smaller tasks you could use MySQL or even Gadfly (included with
Zope)
mSQL is also to be resurrected but I'm not sure it will run on windows.

But if you have a machine beefy enogh for Win2k a small extender-shell 
(or rather a compatibility layer) should make no difference ;)

You could also consider Interbase or SapDB but they are probably not yet 
stable.

Or if you want to get really exotic you can run VMware to run linux and 
run any free database there ;)
