Windows-based Solution Stacks
Another common stack (WISA) is the Windows alternative to LAMP:
- Windows Server (operating system)
- Internet Information Services (web server)
- SQL Server (database)
- ASP.NET (programming languages)
It is also common to see Access used for the database, as many Windows-based websites are hosted on shared web servers, which either do not support Microsoft SQL Server or make it expensive for the hobbyist or small business.
WIMP is the same stack with MySQL replacing SQL Server, and PHP replacing ASP.NET.
Recently (as the other layers became more compatible with Windows) WAMP has become more popular as a more literal Windows alternative to LAMP, using: Windows, Apache, MySQL, and Perl/PHP/Python.

Famous quotes containing the word solution:
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
