1ms is the way-way-way upper end of what could be considered realtime.
You don't need an RTOS to do this - a USER mode application in Windows can respond that about that fast. The only problem is that it's not garuanteed like it is with RTOSes. Don't go surfing the web or defragment the harddrive and you'll be ok.
(yes the default sleep time ranges from 10-16 milliseconds or so, you can change that with a call to timeBeginPeriod and set it to 1ms)
National Instruments is the company you want to contact to work out the details of what you require. IOmega is another alternative if NI doesn't have a product that meets your needs (if NI has it, but it from them - even if it's more money!)
NI
They make a product called LabView which could work well for you.
