just a silly question...

Well, IIS is not such a poor server application, and Apache does run on Windows (possibly not as good as the state when it runs on Linux/BSD, though). I think they are both stable enough.
However, a Windows server is likely to cost your more (a legal Windows 7 Ultimate license costs you $219, costs as much as my computer). And I'm not so sure whether POSIX filesystem permissions offer more control than Windows permissions. (And Windows of course does not have SELinux! :)) And Apache and PHP may run better on *nix operating systems than on Windows (at least I heard so). So a CentOS, Debian, Gentoo, or FreeBSD server may be better than a Windows server if you plan not to run MsSQL (not MySQL) or ASP.
