Graham, Just a note that we have Mediawiki running on Windows 2000 and IIS
and it works fine.  There are some performance issues to be wary of (100%
cpu utilisation while the PHP scripts run to generate a page), but as long
as you have enough grunt on your server or a fairly small load (like we do)
you should be fine.
 
Cheers,
 
Al.

Use Apache on Linux/Unix unless you have some very, very good reason not
to. If you must use Windows, use Apache. If you must use IIS, you'll
have to figure it out on your own as we don't have it or support it.
 
If you can't configure IIS correctly, try switching the $wgArticlePath
to 'ugly URL' style.
