I remember IIS ... A few years back I started a job and my office PC ran Windows 98. ColdFusion Studio seemed to leak all the system resources so I asked for Win 2000. IIS in Win2k refused to do anything (maybe since I actually upgraded 98 to 2000) so my boss just suggested I try Apache. So I did. Apache just worked :)

I have no idea why you're running IIS ... seems nuts to me. I'm allowed to run a shitty server at home since my server runs Mac OS 9.1 and Apache for that (Tenon WebTen) was $99 at the close-out sale. But anyone running Windows ... nuts. Just nuts. My only beef with Apache 1.3, I've found, is that it forces you to state your server name for formulating redirects whereas MacHTTP feeds off the Host line to drive redirects. Seems that Apache 2 solves this, but Apple still ship 1.3 with Mac OS X and, although I don't fiddle with those particular settings there, so does the company that hosts my site, last I checked.
