There have been no widespread reports of rotating file handlers being unusable 
under Windows. This is a Windows limitation that generally needs to be worked 
around, it's not limited to logging applications only.

It's possible to copy a set of rotated files to another location for more 
leisurely examination, though that could also cause failures depending on how 
the files are opened for copying.

If this option is not open to you, you can still use a rotating file handler 
base class, but just reimplement the doRollover() method to implement any other 
strategy you like of dealing with files held open by other processes. This was 
suggested in an earlier response - is there any reason it wouldn't work for you?
