Well, in my own experience, you've got one out of three. I haven't found it
to be either faster or more stable than IIS. Then again, I haven't really
seen any significant IIS or Apache/Windows stability problems.

I kind of doubt it - or even if it existed, I doubt you'd want to use it.
For this to work, the web server has to run as part of the operating system,
using the SYSTEM security context. However, IIS doesn't actually run every
request as SYSTEM, but rather impersonates a specific user. Apache simply
isn't designed to do this.
