"Production-ready" means different things to different people. Personally,
I've been using mspgcc4 exclusively for the last year. Many other people
use it successfully too.
mspgcc as in the 3.2.3 version is not being actively maintained.
I don't develop or test under windows, and nobody's volunteered to regularly
update pre-built packages for mspgcc4 on windows. There is a somewhat out
of date package for mspgcc4 at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mspgcc4/files/Windows/ which you might try.
If that doesn't work for you, or you want to be sure you've got the latest
release, you need to download the tar file and build it using the
buildgcc.pl script that comes with it.
I suggest not attempting to build insight; there are known problems with it,
especially on windows.
No, if you're getting warnings about interrupt vectors, something's wrong.

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
