My DW installation on a (very) old Windows 2000 Server with IIS5 and PHP5
works great, without problems and no need of using semicolons. (iP II 400
MHz, 640 MB RAM, NTFS on SCSI RAID and a hand full of users.)

I agree with Andi for the first thing, for the latter I have no probs with
NTFS.
If you are required to use Windows, why don't stick with it? For an internal
use I think nothing is wrong with an IIS! Surly if you need more then one
virtual server it is not the best option, you would need Windows 2000/2003
Server.
Just my two cents,
Lothar
