It is a Win32 API operating system, and you can use Visual Studio 6.0/.NET under Windows as a development platform. Yet, your application will run under real-time conditions on the target, and it allows full access to the hardware (interrupts, I/O ports, physical memory, etc). Since it requires no CPL transitions to access hardware resources, and its scheduler is faster than desktop OSes such as Windows or Linux, it will give you the best chance of meeting your fairly high real-time and throughput requirements. http://www.on-time.com has a free test version you can download.
