Unless you have any very specific reason to use Apache, as in a feature that
IIS does not support, then there is no reason not to use IIS if your running
on windows, it will do everything you need.
The most common reason people always had to use Apache was mod_rewrite, but
this now exists for IIS
Is there not alot more security concern for IIS as compared to Apache? I
have always heard this, so have always ran Apache on my windows server.
Things may have changed in IIS with the release of windows 2003 server.

This is a common misconception, Apache does run on Windows, in fact
IIRC, most Apache installs out there are on Windows servers, and

Phpmyadmin is awesome. Their MySQL Workbench and MySQL Administrator are
also not bad. They can be dl'd at MySQL.org. I wish there was a decent CF
version of PHPMyAdmin. I ran across a CFMyAdmin a while back and it really
sucked unfortunately. It had a lot of potential, but it didn't work.

I'd say that the fact that there is even a choice rules out Linux. Only
Windows gives an option between the two. But either way, both run just as

Yes - it's a great tool, but can be difficult to figure out when you're first
working with it (I'm not using the most recent version; it might be easier
now). I know I'm not using it to its full potential - there's a lot packed into
