Windows? I don't even know. You can type in Japanese on all the PC's sold in Japan, so I never even thought about it. Maybe someone else can answer this.

Is it because that 部 is a special case that we use にじゅうぶ instead of にじゅっぷ?
No, you're going too wild. It's very common to read the "20" part of "20 + counter" にじゅう. Number 20 is pronounced にじゅう, too.

for 1-100,000 部 are these correct:

いちぶん Why are you suddenly reading it ぶん? It's .
にぶん
さんぶん
よんぶん
ごぶん
ろくぶん
ななぶん
はちぶん
きゅうぶん
じゅうぶん
ひゃくぶん
せんぶん
いちまんぶん All correct if you delete all the ん's. (Nicer than saying "all wrong", ain't it?)

-- i've just read a short explanation on when to use いっせん/せん, to clarify, would 10,001,000 be いっせんまんいっせん
Correct. Nice example.
