Be sure to checkout the CGI resource index website, it has quite a few free message board packages.

Finally, something that ran on both Windows (IIS) and Linux (Apache) would be nice but I suspect that is not compatible with database backend.
The choice of web server and platform shouldn't have much to do with the database backend, in a well designed system anyway.

I can second YABB (http://yabbforum.com) in terms of ease of installation, configuration, and features. We recently installed this for some collaborative work in my organization and it seems very useful.
Of course, it's Perl. I have yet to glance at any of the code though, so I can't vouch for quality/elegance/etc. The person who set it up used the basic flat-file mode, we need to switch to a database backend soon (which should be very doable).

Each project listed has a vote count, much like PM's XP, I can see YaBB and Discus have the most votes. Worth to give them a try. :-)
