By the way, if you are looking for a production-quality Windows port of Redis, there is a fork available at https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis. We (Microsoft) provide it in production as Azure's cache service today, and are committed to continuing to work on it.

Although it sparked some debate when Microsoft ported Redis to Win32 with libuv (http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/redis-win32-msft-patch.html) I am impressed by their commitment that the fork is still going 4 years later.
Are you part of the Azure cache service? I was an intern the the Edge Caching and Storage team and joining back fulltime next month. If things are the same way they were it would be worth it exploring using Redis for our cache and I'd like to talk details.
I am not, but I work with them closely. If you'd like to talk to the team involved, send me (shankun_at_microsoft_com) your email and I'll connect you up!
