Back on speaking terms after IIS 7

SummaryIIS 6 was great, IIS 7 is even better!

Builds on solid platform of IIS 6IIS 7 was built with the hoster and web farm manager in mind

Feature delegation, simpler configurationDeep integration with ASP.NET

Managed code programming model is now a first class citizen when extending IISExtensions can apply to other developer platforms such as PHP, JSP, and plain old HTML

More powerful diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities
