My current .net web apps I've written are supporting several hundred
call-center users, roughly 20 hits/sec.  The pages aren't simple
asp.net pages, they are complex pages which call into a complex c#.net
transactional middle tier and from there into sql server and  other
data sources.  Its been months since we've had to give anything the
three-fingered salute in the production environment.

Generally speaking my applications have been rock solid on IIS.  I
think stability has more to do with the developers and how the system
as a whole is administered and maintained, no matter what the platform
is.  Its too easy for someone who doesn't know what they're doing to
screw up any server platform.  Its easy to blame the OS...
