Many educational institutions run a combination of PHP and/or
Perl. The most prestigious educational institutions in the world
run PHP... Some seem to employ ColdFusion (.cfm).

It appears Microsoft finally enhanced their web content delivery.
They had problems last year where many pages took forever to
get to the client browser (and "often" never made it - the browser
timed out). They've been on IIS 6 for about 3 years now.

Bewary... the information above may not be 100% accurate.

Apache servers make it very easy to configure .cfm files for any
type of processing, i.e. the PHP server could be configured to
process any extension, Perl could be configured to processed
any extension.

http://www.netcraft.com/ often delivers wrong server details.
They falsely report the wrong number of Windows 2003 servers.
Where they get that bogus information no one knows.
