I used to use IIS on a virtual server I ran for my web clients (pre domain revenue days). I moved over to linux and recoded all the ASP sites to PHP for free becase I liked the features and reliability of Linux/Apache.

The combo I run of linux/apache/php/mysql/mod_gzip means its fast and very flexible for just about anything I need to do. mod_gzip is useful as it reduces the bandwidth of html to about a 10th of what it would be without compression.

Linux and IIS are very different beasts to manage/configure (unless you do it all by proprietary interfaces).
