PHP vs ASP

    I am responsible for implementing a new company intranet. I have experience setting up Drupal on my web host for my personal portfolio site, I set up the intranet on my G4 at work, but the Windows/IIS server causes all sorts of problems and the IT dept is unable to solve them, so there goes two weeks of work down the drain for me. I even asked them before I started if it was going to be a problem. Anyhow now they've set up Dotnetnuke and it is up but seems quite buggy, ie every 6th click results in a database error page. Yes I am definitely more of a front end designer and though I work mainly on Mac, by far an elitist (at least as far as OSs are concerned).
    Just for my own knowledge, what would the advantages over using Windows/IIS server/ASP vs Linux/Apache/PHP?
    A friend of mine suggests its just that most IT people learn the Microsoft stuff in school and that's what they stay with.
    Any insight would be appreciated.
