>>Ever heard of managers ;) yes and what do they pay you for? tell you how to do your job or letting you do your job ie finding the best web server.
If he willing to put his butt on the line for deploying the worth web server and take full responsibilities for breaking into your site, fine. Again do your job, compare which of apache and IIS had the most bug/securities hols issues which one tie you up to a specific platform ,which one makes it difficult to replicate/migrate to a different PC. As well if you go for IIS you gonna have to patch and keep up with them fairly frequently (look at how many patches had been released for IIS in the last year), therefore it means more down time. Apache is open source = if you find a bug that prevent your site to stay up or compromise it, providing that can code in C you can fix it there and then. With IIS pray that MS 1) can be asked to fix it 2) they do it quickly. If apache/Linux is good enough for amazon.com to commit there business on it why can't it be good enough for your boss?
