IIS6. blech. Configuration control is a nightmare with it. I wish IIS had even 1/2 the functionality of Apache or 1/2 the speed of nginx/lighttpd!

IIS6. blech.

Is IIS 7.5 closer to those targets?

Apache on Windows is a disaster especially for CGI stuff. IIS7 and ISAPI works like a dream in comparison.

Agree that Apache on Windows is terrible, but IIS7 is still awful compared to pretty much any of the major linux-based webservers.

I'm a few days late on this, but curious: by what measure(s) do you mean that?
