I read this article on cNet. It seems to be that running IIS and installing php as a module and the mysql binary is much better than using one of these bundles. Point and click to add a domain or subdomain is much easier than editing conf files.
Now the software giant faces a different challenge: fending off open-source alternatives that are good enough for most jobs.
At Microsoft’s TechEd customer conference last week, executives spelled out the company’s lineup to combat these cut-rate incursions onto its turf.
In particular, the company is focused on improving its alternatives to the so-called LAMP stack, the combination of the Linux operating system, Apache Web server, MySQL database, and scripting languages PHP, Perl or Python.
Microsoft’s anti-LAMP strategy is to heap features into its low-end products and to build a comprehensive set of tools–spanning development to management–in the hopes of making Windows Server more attractive.
