*NIX is RT's native platform, so I'd certainly recommend it over Win32.

On the other hand, after discussing with Jesse, we discovered that incoming
mail (POP3/IMAP) support can be easily achieved with "fetchmail".  You can
download fetchmail from the GNUWin32 project, and set it up according to
the RT FAQ (http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/ape/rt/docs/rt-FAQ.html):

    # .fetchmailrc
    poll mail.yourdomain.com proto pop3:
    username rt password ***** mda "/path/to/perl.exe /path/to/rt-mailgate rt correspond"

Run "fetchmail -d 300" to have fetchmail run every 300 seconds as a
daemon to check for mail on the mail server. You may want to put this
into a startup script.

Thanks,
