Introduction

If you've been lurking in the various forums and newsgroups devoted to webmastering, you could hardly fail to notice the heated debate going on at this time. No, it's not which is the best browser. This debate is about web servers. More precisely, which one is better: Apache or Internet Information Server (IIS).

To tell you the truth, I've used them both (and a few others as well) and the simple plain truth of the matter is these two web server platforms are really functionally equivalent.
