Off the top of my head the evaluation versions of

  - Corman Common Lisp (unlimited except for the IDE and exe distribution
rights which are relatively cheap to buy.  Very well integrated with
Windows, but doesn't currently build Maxima),

  - LispWorks and ACL (both of which have serious limitations).

Also I believe that there is a Visual C++ version of CLISP which may or may
not work with Maxima.
