I believe Miva is a CGI/Pearl type script.
I'm certain OS Commerce is PHP

regarding the fp extensions/ windows environment: I've found that PHP stuff
runs surprisingly well on a windows server so it'll be OK. beyond that,
it's usually easiest to keep an app like a shopping cart in a FrontPage
subweb but isn't absolutely necessary.

It's actually kind of fun to "skin" one of these carts or other similar
apps, where you make it look identical (or acceptably close) to the rest of
the web you're installing it in.
