Mysql, PHP, Apache works perfectly fine with windows ...At least in Server 2003, not so well with 2008. I have no experience with doing the same with XP.
Then on the other hand, setting up linux server in the local network would be as easy if not easier. Clients would not know what OS is serving the web/database. Either way going with forementioned open source combo, it would be easy to move out of the local network if need to be. to interface the mysql database, there are plenty of options. myphpadmin, mysql query manager, self-made interface. Mysql have pretty much all needed tools (front-end and back-end) for both windows and linux available.
