In my case if I had to use Windows I'd use Cygwin and run Apache anyway.
In fact I've done this before. There is a native build of Apache for
windows as well.
Point well taken that it is nice to have choices. However, if you are
going to go against the grain and use an unusual solution there should be
a compelling reason. In my case I know UNIX and similar systems 1,000
times better than I know Windows so for me it is the path of least
resistance. If I was like 99% of Windows users I'd better off running
IIS and being done with it.
I've used 3rd party hubs over the years: Specialized, Bullseye, High-E,
Weyless, Phil Wood, etc. These (at the time anyway) were better than
mainstream hubs in some particular way but overall it is hard to beat
Campy or Shimano hubs in quality and value. You can put a Ford 5 liter
V8 in a Volvo 240 or Mazda Miata though most people would be best
sticking with the engine that came with their car unless they had a
specific need they were addressing.
