I wont begin to pretend I understand either, however I do know that it is easier for me to use IIS than Apache. Also, a few things that are all unrelated to the essential gist of this topic...

As far as my knowledge goes...

1/. IIS can access or give access to a number of 'web sites' on different drives and different computers, and Apache cannot

2/. IIS can set up FTP to run on the c: drive but the actual directory structure can be on various other computers, but apache is locked to one area

3/. Setting up Apache is inherently not user friendly at all, and IIS is.

Now, like I said, I do not know either especially well, and I do know IIS has its flaws too... as does any product on the market... and essentially we use what we are comfortable with, what we know, and what we like... so just because one or more people do not like it, does not mean that its not good or in fact that it is good. Simply, does it meet the required need at the time? Yes, then no problem.

We can fall into the trap of over analysis of products. They do similar jobs but are different.

EDIT: just bringing it up again
