Well, not true... Apache in its latest release cycle does support all Win32 platforms. However, there are plenty of security and performance issues that affect ALL Windows server setups, including MS IIS (!), stemming from things like Windows' handling of capitalization and long filenames. See http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/98-07-10 for a discussion of those issues, and why running ANY web server software on Windows is a risky maneuver.
