Today Microsoft released a new free product named Web Platform Installer, aimed at making both PHP and .NET environments on Windows much much easier to get going on XP, Vista, Windows 2003 and 2008. You can think of this as a properly supported, Microsoft-based, alternative to products like http://www.wampserver.com
Alongside this is a gallery of web applications; a directory of free software which is known to work well on Windows. Currently SilverStripe and Drupal and Wordpress are some of the 10 initial applications in the gallery. Developers can submit their own applications to the Microsoft web app gallery, similar to facebook and iPhone application submissions. www.microsoft.com/web/gallery Screenshots of the install process via WebPI. http://www.silverstripe.org/installing-on-windows-now-easier-thanks-to-microsoft-web-platform-installer/ (you can click screenshots for full size.)
