Nope. Windows to Windows (self-hosted to higher-end custom hosting). The new hosting partner support involves less hassle if it's IIS/MSSQL or Apache/MySQL. We're currently Apache/MSSQL on Windows and it's just easier to move to IIS to avoid support problems down the road.

I became an Apache on Windows convert b/c of the lack of virtual hosting on MS PWS or whatever it was called. Of course now I'm a Mac guy so it's a moot point. One Apache plus is that you've got access to cool things like mod_rewrite and mod_proxy (especially the Apache 2.2 version). No, I'm personally not thrilled about the switch, but it's *much* easier than having the Apache/Linux support and the Windows/MSSQL support argue about why there's a problem down the road. FWIW, I got the IIFR open source rewrite ISAPI filter running with *very* little effort using the same rule (minus the [PT,L] flags) as in mod_rewrite. That's kinda' cool.
