This works just fine in my install of nagios (nagios-HEAD from about a  
month an a half ago). I pretty much took your config verbatim. I don't  
know why it doesn't work for you. Does the template named 'host'  
exist? Note also that I believe your intent is to have 'hostgroups  
+win_servers' in your win-host template but it's irrelevant to the  
issue you're reporting.

Here's what I tested with --

define host{
         name                            generic-host
         notifications_enabled           1       ; Host notifications  
are enabled
         event_handler_enabled           1       ; Host event handler  
is enabled
         flap_detection_enabled          0       ; Flap detection is  
enabled
         process_perf_data               0       ; Process performance  
data
         retain_status_information       0       ; Retain status  
information across program restarts
         retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status  
information across program restarts
         max_check_attempts              1
         check_period                    24x7
         checks_enabled                  1
         notification_interval           0
         notification_period             none
         notification_options            d,r
         initial_state                   o

         register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS  
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
         }


define host {
use                             generic-host
name                            prod-host
hostgroups                      prod_servers #Production server host
notification_period             24x7
register                        0
}


define host {
use                             generic-host
name                            win-host
hostgroups                      win_servers #Windows server host group
register                        0
}

define host {
use                             prod-host,win-host
name                            windows-server
address                           192.1.1.1
alias                                     My Windows Production Server
}
