AFAIK, Tomcat and IIS are two different things.
Tomcat is a servlet container and IIS is a webserver.
If you are comparing static webpages serving capabilities of these two..
then yes.. Tomcat is no better than IIS.
But being a Servlet Container, Tomcat wins the race with IIS all hands up.

The main advantage is probably that you can use tomcat to host
webapplications written in java. I seriously doubt that iis can handle
it :-)
