Actually, IIS is much worse than the Windows OS. In fact, the Gartner Group (suits typically respect their opinion) has recommended that it not be used in production (http://www3.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?doc_cd=101034). If security is of no concern to management, mention the fact that IIS has a much higher TCO than Apache for similar reasons. Money is always a concern. :-) If you receive pressure to move away from Linux (a server OS) to Windows (a desktop OS) for use as a server, ask if you can move to Mac OS X instead. While Mac OS X is actually a saner choice (it is based on a server OS now), Apple's marketing has not been as effective as Microsoft's in this area, and most people tend to think of Macs as desktop computers. So, if moving to Mac seems like a poor choice, and you can illustrate how Mac is actually a compromise, you might open some eyes. :-) If all else fails, quit. That might be difficult depending on the job market, but I would try to not sacrifice my life (work takes up a significant portion of it) due to other people's poor decisions. There is too much useful stuff out there you can learn and spend your time doing. Hope that helps.
