The difference most likely is that you need persistance which as far as my testing with V2 went doesn't work. From what I've seen of Apache 2's ISAPI implementation loads and unloads the ISAPI extension on each hit, which is a problem for FoxISAPI which wants to load servers and keep them running (as does Web Connection in COM mode)...

WWWC actually supports Async output in COM mode, although that feature is not highly advertised <g>... In general that's not a big deal, and with most ISAPI implementations (especially IIS) this doesn't even have a big effect because IIS actually caches output to specific buffer sizes to improve performance (without that there's much more overhead for the Web Server), which renders that feature less than optimal...

Not IIS but all versions of Windows come with a MS Web Server (PWS for Win9x which is really bad but it works)... Running a Web Server on Win9x is IMHO asking for trouble (regardless if the WS comes from MS or not - the TCP/IP stack is not stable and performance is horrible compared to NT OSs) and if you get more than a 10 users on at a time illegal per licensing agreement (which is also true of XP for that matter)...
