hehe, my intent wasn't to drive anyone away from anywhere. I simply
mentioned it as an alternative (I know you can use IIS on Home/Pro etc, but
not sure about Media so figured it couldn't hurt to ask).

As for Apache::ASP, as I said, I've not tried it myself, so wasn't aware of
the things you mentioned.
