Can you justify this statement? How is windows any easier to load
balance a service on than a win32 platform?

For the simple fact that the odds of a new exploit / hole being
discovered for IIS vastly outweighs the odds of one being found
for Apache?

Again, how is win32 any better at streaming media then Apache on a
*NIX server? And at a better price?
