Joe,

I think you may want to add some things into your report.  For example,
PHP 5 new object model is a big plus, Zend Engine 2, libxml2, etc... All
these things will substantiate an upgrade to PHP.  For starters, the Zend
Engine 2 is supposed to be faster... check out www.zend.com  also, PHP
will run faster on Linux than on Windows as well as be able to provide
more features on Linux than it can on windows.

Sorry but I don't have specific URLS, keep an eye out on these sites

www.phparch.com
www.zend.com

and I would search the archives on these sites, I know I've seen something
there before...

And if "you've earned the trust" and they have been convinced to install
PHP on IIS, why not look at zend.com for case studies.
