OpenNMS
http://opennms.org/wiki/Installation:Windows
It claim to run on windows and have basic capabilities, I have not looked into details so I can’t say just how deep it goes (Nagius supports SNMP and very detailed monitoring, OpenNMS at a glance seem more like superficial monitoring). Anyway, it’s free and may just be enough for you, so take a look at it.
Demo available at;

SpiceWorks

I actually tested this once (a previous version), it is quite fine for smaller sites (and seem more extensive than OpenNMS), but when it come to wan connected sites it seem a bit heavy (works without agents installed). Then again, it’s free and this one is quite easy to setup and manage.
Yet other alternatives (Non windows though) is;

And this one that seem commercial;
http://www.groundworkopensource.com/Do you remember the song by U2 – “I still haven’t found what I am looking for”, are you forever lost when trying to keep order in your digital archive, can’t you ever find the document/picture/pdf/spreadsheet you are looking for – well then this may be of interest to you;
Benubird, benubird is a document management system that will analyze and organize your files/documents/spreadsheets etc. and add meta data to your files for better search results. It seem very clever indeed and it is of cause free (as the bird 😉 )..
Give it a spin if you are working with large amounts of data, it looks very promising.
Another gadget I stumbled across and found interesting is the “Parent/child alarm”;
Helix Child Alert
Parent and Child alert is designed to reduce the chances of a child wandering away, unnoticed in crowded locations.
The two part alarm will alert the parent when the child moves more than 5-10m from their side.
Also includes a panic button for the child to send an alert to the parent / guardian.
Price around £10
