Chromium is using it for http layout tests on windows.  A long long time ago, we used apache 1.x, but there were lots of random hangs.  We switched to lighttpd because the results were much more stable (although it didn't support all the tests).  Ojan tried to get us back on apache and succeeded on Linux and Mac, but I don't think anyone has tried that hard on Windows.  I think there were problems with getting a compatible version with cygwin that works on XP, Vista and Win7.
