You obviously don’t know anything about IIS 7.5 and .Net or you wouldn’t say such a thing.
IIS7.5 actually is completely awesome. Look out apache.

All developers who work with both IIS and Apache know IIS is appalling. Why is it that despite Microsoft’s huge resources they don’t dominate the server market – because their product is hopeless. IIS needs “improved diagnostics capability with advanced error tracking” because it’s uselessly fragile. Developers who recommend this platform don’t know what they’re talking about. Nobody would ever choose to use .Net or IIS unless it’s the only product they know well enough to make a living.

if php is not available the server cost will be definitely very higher price

Although I appreciate that IIS 7.5 is better than 6.0, it’s still a rather PITA to make it work:
1. in different folder than a default wwwroot (permissions on the folder in 2008 R2)
2. PHP 5.3 from scratch – it simply won’t work… had to use WebPlatform installer from MS
3. Zend Framework and URLRewrite still are bit tricky to setup (am still researching this subject – and this is how I came here)…
So bottom line is – you want PHP server that is easy, reliable and portable? go LAMP…
