OpenVPN doesn't support IPSec at all. It's an SSL implementation.
You'll want to look at Openswan (http://www.openswan.org/) for IPSec.
PS. The "www" is very important when going to the openswan site.
Their webserver is configured funky.
For Microsoft compatibility, Poptop and Openswan are your best bets.
Neither are a piece of cake to setup, but I personally find Openswan
easier ... but then I've been using it in a production environment for
5 or 6 years (was Freeswan).

Does openvpn support IPsec well?
I want the server to work cooperation with a Microsoft ISA Server inside the
intranet with site-to-site vpn mode.
For that reason I want the server has good compatibility with windows.

OpenVPN works with windows too (client or server).
The same configuration files works on both OS.
Very easy to enable multiple VPN connection at the same time.
