If pushing a new website to the webserver is the best argument of WAMP over LAMP, it sounds a bit odd. Pushing a new simplistic website to a LAMP (default one click installed), has as much difficulty as pushing files to a directory (/var/www). Even if Visual Studio gives a one-button-system, I would still not call that a killer feature over placing files in a directory.

When one pick between WAMP and LAMP, the question one should ask is if a) what framework matches best with the developers skill/knowledge and what features the site is going to have, b) what performance requirements are there, and c) what legacy code will have to run along side. Everything else is just buzz.



Small comment as I agree with your statement in general. Ease of deployment has never been an issue as they are all very straightforward.

The A in WAMP/LAMP is for Apache, so that does not apply here. I'm not sure what the acronym is for Windows/IIS/<database>/.NET.
