You can add mod_rewrite style functionality using third-party tools like
ISAPI Rewrite. IIS supports compression for static documents (and
ASP/ASP.NET I think, but I'm not sure about that). Access control is fully
integrated with the OS, which is something you can't do with Apache since
Apache doesn't perform OS impersonation. This last item is a big deal on a
lot of intranets.
