WIMP

WIMP: Windows, IIS, MySQL and PHP.
The term WIMP is used to describe a web based solution produced using PHP (scripting), MySQL (database), IIS (web-server) running on Windows (operating system). Whilst Windows has a financial cost, PHP and MySQL are free to download and IIS is included with Windows. WIMP therefore describes a low cost website solution running on Windows. cf LAMP.
