Long live Solaris! Personally, I choose to run SAMP.

Long live Solaris!

(L standing for Lighthttpd) That's what all the cool kids are doing now. What about WLAP? (L standing for Lighthttpd)

But on the other hand... i dont do much switching in last time... used lamp most exclusively the last 3-4 years. (besides using Linux exclusively as Desktop OS the last 2 years) got the same reason like anyone else… its easier to switch between lamp and wamp than to switch between lamp and wimp.

I've been running WAMP at a low scale level (with database, but quite small) for several years now, and works fine. No empirical data, sorry. My main reason to use WAMP over WIMP, though, is that it's in fact developed as LAMP application that has to work over XP too, due to some customer requirements. Oh, man, and now I'll have to check what happens with Vista! And of course “IIS sux because it is from Micro$not”. :-) I agree with Nathan.

Maybe the discussions were valid at one point, but Apache 2 seems to be pretty darn Windows-friendly. I don't have anything major against IIS, really. I found Apache easier to configure and getting new versions for free appealed to the poor college student I was at the time (yeah Windows comes with a crippled ancient version of IIS (at least, the version that came with Win2k was both ancient and crippled; I don't know if XPs is any better), but you'll probably be dropping some dough if you want the most recent, unrestricted version). Plus, don't underestimate the awesomeness of open sauce :) I’ve run a low-volume WAP (no database) server for years.
