You can remap one of the keys in Windows. See in the Vim wiki:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Map_caps_lock_to_escape_in_Windows

It has a more general discussion (than the title implies), and mentions some FOSS utilities that would avoid registry hacking.

Note that vim on windows has f13, f14 and f15, though keyboards usually don't, so they become potential targets.

It has long been recognized, and much discussed, that vim's key model has inadequacies, but the amount of code needing revision to fix it properly has, well, required a commitment that has not been forthcoming, though some are hopeful.
