Hehe... funny to see this today. I let someone convince me to make a
brain-dead decision to move to IIS since pretty much everything else
where I work is M$. We were doing fine until I tried to attack the
concept of simply (?) sending the contents of a form to our sales force
from our website.
Well, I certainly never had trouble getting it to work with php - and
the moment I send this I'm bringing up a new Apache server... screw the
M$ way, and shame on me for having considered it.
