Their sysadmin wanted to keep it clean and not try run mysql and Microsoftr SQL server on the same machine. (the back-end of their website runs on MS SQL) I have to admit though, my posting does read as if one doesn't have an option but install wordpress on a linux box. ;) so thanks for alerting readers to that!

It will run perfectly happily in a WIMP (Windows, IIS, MySQL, PHP) environment. It’s probably worth pointing out that you don’t need a Linux box to run Wordpress.
