There is always brute force: you could run windows in a virtual machine under VMware, virtualbox, etc. It wastes some resources, requires an OS license and attention to updates, but lets you run anything on the same physical hardware without conversions. If you need it to share an IP address you can set up a reverse proxy within a named vhost configuration - otherwise it can just look like a separate machine. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
