Yes, there is a PHP-WIN list. Much less volumn than this list.

We run PHP on Windows using IIS. So far haven't had any problems. But we've been using it on intranet only sites and not very intensive or complicated.

Let me put it this way:
Core PHP will not make Windows any less stable than it already is.

That means that if you have one of the 0.01% of Windows SysAdmins who
actually is competent, then you should be fine.

If not, then PHP isn't going to help matters.

If you start adding in some seldom-used DLL extensions... No
promises. :-)

Check with people who actually USE PHP on Windows with heavy volume,
if you can find any...

Is there still a php-windows@ list from php.net?

You really shouldn't, as Apache on Windows is a good way to transition
to a real server. :-)

Disclosure:
I hate MS and have a severe bias.

YMMV
