The acronym WIMP is a solution stack of software, partially free and open source software, used to run dynamic Web sites on servers. The expansion is as follows:
- Windows, referring to the operating system;
- IIS, the Web server;
- MySQL, MS SQL Server or MS Access, the database management system (or database server);
- PHP or others, e.g. the Perl, Python, PowerShell programming languages.[1]
The Microsoft Web Platform Installer is a tool to install applications on a WIMP-system.
LAMP is a similar stack, of entirely free software with Linux replacing Windows, and Apache HTTP Server replacing IIS.
