I support some ASP applications on Windows. I've never used ChilliASP

No. On Windows it has been replaced by ASP.NET for new projects. ASP.NET
shares some syntax with ASP, but it is a totally new platform based on
.NET. ASP.NET is more structured and closer to J2EE than ASP. It may be
possible to run ASP.NET on Linux/Apache with Mono, but I don't know how
mature the stack is.

ASP has no advantage over PHP other than tight Windows integration, which
ASP.NET also presumably has. Tight Windows integration is considered an
advantage to some and a disadvantage to others.
