I agree they don't need to change the system they have in place, but
saying down for upgrade is a bad thing? Does that mean if I run IIS and if
I upgrade that it can stay active and serving pages while I upgrade it?
server's go down if whatever is serving a web presence goes down, planned
or not you lose the web presence, yes the IIS or i may still be up, but to
the person who wanted a page from the other system my web presence is
down.

Apache on Linux will be less expensive and better than IIS
Please define "less expensive and better". IIS just screams with static
content, esp IIS7. Plus you'd have access to asp.net, php, ISAPI, IIS7
pipeline, etc. As for "less expensive" how much less expensive can you
get than a license for Windows Web edition? And it sounds like they
already have that. Also, if you put it all on the i, how do you have a
web presence when the i is down? And don't tell me it's never down,
because you're either lying, or you're still running V4R1 since you need
downtime to upgrade. Perhaps you have 2 i's... sure, that's "less
expensive". :-)
