NorthScale (now known as Membase, Inc.) did have a straight compilation
of memcached for Windows available as a binary.  Since Membase now has
support for a memcached bucket type and there were missing pieces that
weren't going to be added, Membase, Inc. isn't providing binaries any
longer.

Membase's memcached bucket type is generally more along the lines of
what people were asking for, since it runs as a Windows service
properly, gives you a way to change the amount of memory an instance is
using, etc. 

With the compiled binaries we distributed, we kept getting emails asking
for that kind of functionality but only had plans to add it in with the
memcached bucket type.  The way it was being done with the Windows
service wasn't really right.

There are some other differences too, which is why I didn't think I
should just point to it on this list (though it is available for free). 
Since you brought it up though...

By the way, along with Trond, Dustin, etc., I'm one of the Membase guys.

Regards,

Matt
