I wouldn't bother setting up all the fancy stuff. Get a second machine, install HyperV on both and set up live migration. Install your web app on a Windows 200

Install your web app on a Windows 2008 VM on serverA ; move the VM to ServerB, reboot serverA, then move the VM back. For applying patches to the VM image itself, I figure it should reboot in what, about 60 seconds or less?
You can get fancier, have separate dev, staging, production VMs etc., adding web balancer and what not later. Then when you want, you can go all-VM should you ever tire of the hardware maintenance.
