Rob and others,

Yes, you could download Apache, but if you are only writing desktop you
don't need a webserver, and if you are writing webservices, or anything
else that requires a webserver it requires IIS. Apache will not support
the .Net Framework.

If you require a webserver for your development with Visual Studio you will
need to move to Windows 2000 (Professional or Server) or Windows XP
Professional.
