Windows platforms in single mode IIS 7 only?

In theory:
1. Apache on Windows is threaded(event based), and PHP still states that it is not 100% thread safe. If you really want to use Apache, you should setup PHP in fastcgi mode using nts build like you would on IIS.
2. Apache has been written for *nix. And unlike php, Microsoft has not been sponsoring development on it to improve Windows compatibility the last few years.
3. IIS has better performance on Windows then Apache, as said above it's optimized for *nix

So for performance and stability, IIS 7+ and PHP 5.3+ is in theory the way to go.

I have no idea, I usually go with the flow when it comes to setting up prod servers. Less risk that way.
For development it is fine though, used it before I switched to Linux to avoid having to wait for on the OS / Eclipse / eZ Publish.
