For a number of reasons, most of our web servers are *nix, so for the one box that had to be Windows (no way to talk to RDB7 on a Vax from *nix at the time), I kept to the same server. We do have a few boxes running IIS, but to me that feels like wearing a skirt - it's something someone else does. Nothing wrong with it, I just don't do it.

I've never done a head-to-head, and I'm sure microsoft.com runs on IIS, but there's another aphorism - if it's not broke, don't fix it.

Out of curiosity why not IIS? Does apache perform better? Also, if you actually benchmarked it, have to tried again recently on a modern version of Windows and PHP? Microsoft has put a lot of time into making PHP suck less on Windows. If you use FastCGI as opposed to ISAPI and an un-threaded 32-bit build of PHP, IIS performance is really good.

I never put PHP on Apache for windows and IIS in a head to head comparison though. I always did PHP on IIS because when in Rome ....
