I think the other issue most likely to cause a perceived "downtime" with the Windows build slave that I've had a handful of cases over the past two years where the build slave appears to be operating properly, but the master seems to just queue up jobs as if it were down. The slave still shows an established TCP link to the master, so I generally only catch this when I happen to peek at the status web page, or catch a remark here on python-dev, so that can reduce availability.
