IIS vs Apache

[John Beschler]

IIS for 2000 Pro and XP pro have some limitations built in.

For example, you can not configure multiple sites, and
they do not support SMTP. Also, the performance may
suffer. I've heard rumors that IIS for Pro/XP is limited
to 10 concurrent users.

You do not need CALs (user licenses) for people accessing
your web site via the internet/intranet. The CALs are for
users connecting locally (via your LAN/WAN).

HTH,

In the past I have used Apache with php for simple active server pages.
I am looking into using IIS but do not understand the issues related to it.
If I use the IIS supplied with W2K professional or XP professional, arethier any significant differences relative to the versions supplied onW2K server or the XP server 2003?

How many users can connect? Do I need licences for the number of userslike you do with users in a Windows domain?

"they do not support SMTP" - Not correct in Windows 2000 Professional.

"Pro/XP is limited to 10 concurrent users." - True but can be hacked and that's all I know about it..
