IIS 7: Extending Our Extensions Into Your Platforms
With the introduction of IIS 7.0 in Windows Server 2008 the game has changed. IIS 7.0 is built using a modular architecture from the ground up. This means two very important things. The first is you only have to install/enable the core set of features YOU want to use, gone are the days of a monolithic design where you had "stuff" running/installed that you simply did not need or use. The same can be said of Windows Server 2008 but that is a post for another time. The second part which is key and brings the most benefit is the module/extension based architecture of IIS 7.0. Currently on IIS 7.0 we ship a handful of in-box modules on top of the core web server engine.
