You used Subversion and you said it was a godsend. Stick with that. I use Subversion with all sorts of non technical people such as writers, graphics people, etc.
On Windows you can download TortoiseSVN and install it and it works well http://tortoisesvn.net/
To get a Subversion server up and running, the easiest is to just buy access to a Subversion server. They are not expensive, e.g. I had good experiences with http://wush.net/ at $6.66 a month, but there are many others out there.
