PWS was pretty much a joke anyway. If you're looking to learn how to build a real website, go ahead and use what the real professionals use: Apache. It's the most popular web server on the planet, and because of the horrendous (and darn near unfixable) security flaws in Microsoft's IIS, Apache is becoming far more common even in Windows shops. You can download the Win32 version here: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ It runs beautifully on Windows, and of course, Solaris, the BSDs, and Linux. BSD and Apache is a very serious, but very inexpensive server platform, used by many large commercial sites. Oh, and it's free, so it should fit any budget... :-)
