not entirely true, or accurate.
PHP and MySQL are a scripting language and a database while IIS is a webserver. PHP and MySQL run just fine on windows with either Apache or IIS as the web server. with
mono you can run asp.net on a linux box and serve asp.net pages just fine under apache.
Also while it's not free (about $500), Sun has bought Chilisoft ASP and renamed it Java System Active Server Pages which can serve VBscript.
There is also a
Perl module which works with Apache and mod_perl to serve ASP.
But i still think PHP is a better way to go.
