    ntop can act as a NetFlow collector and is available for Win32. You will have to recompile it by yourself though, or find pre-made builds (shouldn't be too hard, it's GPLv3 open source) since the provided build is limited to capturing 1000 packets per session.

  4. Scrutinizer drops all netflow data at midnight in its free version.

    ManageEngine's Netflow Analyzer free version is limited to monitoring two interfaces, but it doesn't drop data. http://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/index.html
