Why would anyone use IIS?

[Mike]

I'm the lurker JOhn Oliver speaks of.

When I was young and stupid, I got my MCSE. As soon as I got it, I looked for a job,
I got a job that sent me to Solaris classes and had big Suns (E10k). My roommate was
a Linux geek (John Hughes), and I came over to the *nix side of the force.....

It takes a village ! ....and I was saved.
