I am considering moving a WordPress install to a server running Server 2008 R2. It seems that Microsoft has done some to make running PHP more palatable, but I really haven’t seen any recent data or real life test cases.

IIS doesn’t have issues with threading per se. IIS uses an app pool to process requests. Make sure you install the NTS VC9 version of PHP and you are fine.
WordPress on IIS 7.5 works great btw. Easiest way to install it is here, http://web.ms/wordpress. You can either RDP into your server and install or install it to your local machine using WebMatrix, get it configured all locally then deploy it to your server using WebMatrix’s publishing feature. This is especially easy if your hosting provider supports Microsoft’s WebDeploy.
