What is the difference between IIS and Apache?

1. Apache is free while IIS is packaged with Windows. 2. IIS only runs on Windows while Apache can run on almost any OS including UNIX, Apple's OS X, and on most Linux Distributions.

What are the drawbacks of installing PHP on a Windows server?

An obvious problem with PHP on Windows/Apache is not being able to configure PHP APC for current versions of PHP. Hence, no way to create elegant file uploads with progress bar. There are definitely unofficial binaries, for example here: downloads.php.net/pierre - I agree, though, that this is a major nuisance at best.
