	Well, not true... Apache in its latest release cycle does support
all Win32 platforms.

	However, there are plenty of security and performance issues that
affect ALL Windows server setups, including MS IIS (!), stemming from
things like Windows' handling of capitalization and long filenames. See
http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/98-07-10 for a discussion of those
issues, and why running ANY web server software on Windows is a risky
maneuver.
