[luau] NEWS: A Viable IIS Alternative? Apache 2.0 on Windows 2000

[Warren Togami]

This article is written from a Windows server admin perspective, talking 
about the benefits of Apache 2.0 on a Windows server.  It has 
screenshots too showing the installation process, with explanations of 
the pros and cons of Apache over IIS.

After the repeated security nightmares of IIS, it may be helpful to show 
this to your sysadmin friends who use Microsoft IIS as a method of 
improving their server security, especially those who are serving only 
static pages.

"While previous versions of Apache were a great solution in environments 
running Unix or Linux, the Windows version always lagged behind in terms 
of performance. The fact that Apache holds over 50% of the Web server 
market is testament to its performance and reliability. However, up 
until now, that was pretty much limited to the *nix world. Yes, a Win32 
version has been available for a long time. However, the new version 
really takes Apache to a level where you should give it serious 
consideration on your Windows 2000 servers."
