Maybe an appliance is a path which suits you better then? This way you can
focus more on the function and less on the low-level OS involved. Pretty
much the same way as you buy non-MS routers/switches.
There is several companies selling well done Squid appliance boxes. I
would recommend MARA Systems (my company) or Swelltech (another company
tightly involved in Squid development).

You also need a WCCP driver for Windows. Apparently there is people who
have done this (and it should not be a hard task given the correct tools
to write NDIS drivers), but I do not know of any open such drivers.
