Check out the Web Platform Installer (http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx) it is a close approximation of apt-get install for the Microsoft web stack (ASP.NET, SQL Server, IIS, VS Express)

Sure, but it's less than a thousandth the size, and MS still needs you to restart the whole userspace, kernel, and machine firmware when you install software for some bizarre reason. Upgrading MongoDB is a five second job. Upgrading SQL server is nightmarish and scary.

  Odd downmod. Does someone think the web platform installer has more apps than APT? Or just more than a thousandth? If so, you should probably have checked the size of APT any time in the last 12 years (I'm not sure about before then). Or do they not believe Windows requires OS restarts anymore (as of Windows 2008R2 it still does, for Microsoft apps too)? Try setting up a server with Office Web apps - it's about five complete OS restarts.
