ApplicationS??? I was never a Windows Server person but I got the
impression that the rule was one application per server! At the very
least, one application at a time!!


Who told you that rule? Kerry? You were misinformed.

Our MS guru says he got it from MicroSoft.


Well, I just looked at my Sharepoint documentation and they have it
running IIS, Sharepoint and MSSql all on the same box. Looks like
MicroSoft doesn't agree.

I think it might make a big difference WHEN this "rule" was promulgated.
Windows was not always the fine O/S we know today (W/XP not Vista). ;-)
I encountered it ca. 1994 at which point it made a great deal of sense.
Windows 3.1 was current and W/95 and W/NT were waiting in the wings.
These were the days when the help desk wouldn't even talk to you if you
couldn't say that you just now rebooted your system!

Yeah, well Win 3.1 and 98 were never server OSes in the first place. But
then, considering how out of touch so many people here seem to be regarding
Unix and everything else not VMS, no surprise they base their understanding
of Windows on something like that. But then, look how out of touch with
the IT world of today VMS is.....
