The administrator's main contention is that it is open source, unsupported and my attempt to lock them into a unix-centric platform; something that will work fine under "unix" but Windows is an after-thought.

The guy's incompetent if he considers Micorosoft operating systems and IIS a viable, stable and supported platform for a medium or above enterprise level website. If he's pre-determined towards a particular solution that is so hopeless, you may as well do yourselves a favour: fire the guy and start again.
What I'd like to find are some stats to do with companies using IIS and Zope; showing that such a setup isn't a black-sheep. I know that there are lists of sites that run Zope available, but often they don't show conclusively what their setup is, depending if Zope is squirreled away behind a web-server, or it is on an intranet, etc.
netstat.com Although Zope behind IIS will probably show up as just IIS, it may give you soem idea. cheers, Chris
