I had seriously considered working toward the same goal, but gave up because I wasn't sure about what kind of customers I might find. I'm still convinced that there are a lot of customers out there for this type of thing, and I hope you guys make this into something big!
I need something more "freehand" and Ortelius is what I need; http://www.mapdiva.com/ortelius/

No Windows version.
Not yet.
"Just two months ago, after Node.js added native Windows support, we started testing and porting TileMill to a native Windows application. We plan to release a beta version this quarter"
- TileMill on Windows,
- Live map rendering for dynamic data via TileMill + direct uploads to MapBox for hosting,
- Beautiful new OpenStreetMap base maps as an alternative for Google Maps w/ its new usage fees,
- Shipping fast hardware (which we are still designing :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/developmentseed/5812414817/).
One particularly nice option is the ability to "print" your pre-rendered map to an MBTiles bundle for serving in a slippy map on the web.
Can you create large map images from tiles that can be turned into a poster?
That said mapnik [1], the rendering engine used to generate tiles, is a general purpose geographic data renderer. You could use tilemill as a tool to generate the map style then use mapnik directly to render your map at any pixel or geographic dimensions desired.
