[Zope] NT+IIS+MS SQL Server+Zope

I'm developing a site on RH70/Apache/Postgres/Zope. However, I need to get a
(mostly NT) sysadmin to buy into Zope, and that may mean using Zope with
NT/IIS/MS SQL Server. I have two questions in this regard:

1. I'm wondering if anyone out there has had experience with the latter
combination and if they have any advice about it. I've read this:
http://www.zope.org/Members/roberth/ZMSSQLServer but am wondering what
people suggest reagarding ZODBCDA, ZmxODBC, and any other issues like those
described in earlier posts this month. One of the selling points of Zope to
this guy is that it is Free, so the licensing of ZmxODBC may be an issue
(they don't have pricing up on the site yet). Are there other viable
alternatives to ZODBCDA?

2. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience migrating Zope/postgres/linux
to Zope/MSSQLServer/NT and what advice they might have on this or about
migration in general. (I'd develop the site in NT, but NT won't on on my
"wimpy" development hardware.)
