I've not bothered with 2003 - If pushed then it's a switch to Linux :)

I had IIS with PHP on a W2k machine and it IS slower than Apache2+PHP on
the same machine. Since loosing the need for ASP on that machine users
are happier ;) ( Yes - I could run both IIS and Apache on the machine,
but that slowed everything down ! )
