I think that has to do with the number of concurrent connections, which are limited in Windows.

We run a high-load entertainment website that regularly sees upwards of 60,000 concurrent sessions, it runs on 2 Windows 2003 servers using IIS6, with a DB server running Centos/Mysql. The application is written in classic ASP and all page loads, even the DB heavy ones, are < 3sec without any clever caching other than the IIS defaults. Although we use *nix to run other applications and websites, Windows seems like a fine choice to us as a webserver if the application requires it. Alex
