Taken directly from the FAQ (which I hope you read):

=========

3. Does Services run under Windows?

        No.  I don't know enough about Windows programming to accomplish
        this (nor do I have the slightest desire to).  Unless and until
        someone contributes patches allowing Services to run under Windows,
        you'll need a different operating system (try Linux or FreeBSD).

=========

I can also suggest NetBSD and OpenBSD.
