Can WampServer be used successfully in production? Is this a bad idea?

So everyone knows, and I don't see how this mattered, we've paid for a windows dedicated box and we have existing IIS apps. We just wanted to use a PHP based CMS which installs easier on apache (since it has some dependencies). So, as the title indicated, windows, apache, php, and mysql are requirements.

Additionally, I'm talking specifically of the WampServer flavor of WAMP.

If you're not going onto the internet, there isn't any reason really not to. Of course you'd have to look at all the normal caveats - backups etc.

Instead of using an already made one, why not try to do your own? It would be a good learning experience and really they aren't that hard to get working together.
