TechNet Webcast: Windows Compare (Part 6 of 6): Open Source on Windows (Level 200)

In this last part of our Windows Compare webcast series, we look at how Windows is the only operating system that can not only run the Microsoft solutions stack of Microsoft SQL Server, Internet Information Services (IIS), and the Microsoft .NET Framework, but also can run the equivalent Open Source stack of Apache, MySQL, and PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP). In this session, we look at the Open Source stack and discuss what is required to run these products, explain how to install them, and examine how to configure them in a Windows-based environment compared to a Linux environment.
