In every comparison that I have seen, IIS 6 on Windows 2003 Server has simply smoked Apache on any Intel platform in the speed department. IIS 6 simply sizzles.

You're looking from the point of view of tests you've read. I'm looking from the point of view of actually using both. There's more too it than speed, but as I said IIS 6 at least now is competitive since it got new features that the other servers have had for years. Microsoft will always be the technological inferior since they can't seem to innovate, only follow.
