PHP sucks on *IIS*, not Windows, but php was not designed for IIS, it's a plug-in, it was designed with Apache in mind. It was bandaided for IIS via ISAPI. Run Apache with PHP on Windows and you have the same environment as Linux. As with Linux, make sure your Apache user can execute php.exe and can read/write temp/session files and you are good to go.
IIS works just fine if you use the tools designed around/for IIS. ASP.NET is quite nice and works just as easily as php does on Apache. I use both OS's and both Webservers and I tend to keep php/mysql on Linux and use my Windows boxes for MSSQL ASP/ASP.NET.
