    There both pretty good, but PHP is easier to learn imo and there are loads more support forums for PHP.

    I refuse to let IIS touch my servers even though they run Windows. So I use languages that Apache supports.

    I prefer PHP but my day job requires Perl.

    Also, you don't need Windows XP Pro to get IIS. Using a Windows 2000 CD you can get IIS 5 installed on XP Home.

    I had a project for a job once that required ASP but my laptop only had home. The issue is that home doesn't support IIS 6 which is what XP Pro has. But Home does support IIS 5 since XP Home is just an update to 2000.
