I have read some
comments on the web that said that it’s a “heresy” to run Apache on a
Windows 2003 system.
The comment you mention above is probably from a bishop of the Church of Microsoft, or a priest of the Church of Open Source. Both these clergies tend to be sectarian sometimes.
Apache 2.x works fine under Windows.
Just make sure you disable IIS. You cannot run both IIS and Apache2, in their standard configuration (both listening on port 80) at the same time.
Also, as long as we are talking about Windows, if running this Apache is going to be the main thing on this server, you might as well have a look at all the Windows Services that are started by default, and of which many are unnecessary. Changing those from "automatic startup" to "manual startup" will save you megabytes of RAM and millions of CPU cycles, to the benefit of your Apache server.
Also beware of virus scanning services and other stuff that has no place on a webserver.
