[PHP] php server on Windows

[Phil Schwarzmann]

So I'm thinking about setting up a little php/mysql web server here at
work and want to use Windows as my platform instead of Linux and have a
couple questions...
 
I know that PHP on Windows has some limitations as compared to Linux. 
What are these limitations?
 
Which version of Windows would be best ?
 
Is this gonna be a real pain in the ass to get PHP & MySQL & Apache &
Windows to get along well?  
 
Can I use IIS instead of Apache ?
 
Thanks!
