The Microsoft Web Platform provides everything you need to develop, deploy, host and operate powerful Web applications.

How to get new features for IIS7
If you've been following http://blogs.iis.net/ or http://www.iis.net/downloads/ lately you've probably noticed a lot of IIS software releases coming out with lots of odd acronyms... CTPs, GoLive releases, RTWs. You may wonder: what are these releases, and how do they compare to IIS in the past? For anyone who has been an IIS customer for a while, it may seem quite foreign to see IIS features coming out which are not attached to an OS release.

This build includes updates and fixes made since the Beta 3 release earlier this year, and includes the previously announced IIS7 on Server Core configuration. Important note: This build is released as a Community Technology Preview (CTP) release, and has not been tested to the degree that we test full Beta or Release Candidate builds, so use at your own risk!

My Take: IIS vs. Apache
I ran across Apache at 56% - what is wrong? by /home/liquidat this weekend, and the resulting Digg thread, and enjoyed reading the age-old IIS vs. Apache debate waged by loyalists on both sides. It is great to see the passion for Web servers still very much alive. This is one of the reasons I love software...it is so much more than bits and bytes. Software, good and bad, evokes an emotional response from users. It frustrates the crap out of me when it doesn't work like I want it to, and it makes me nod my head and say "cool..." when it does something really powerful that I don't expect.

ColdFusion on IIS7
Back in the early nineties, one of the first scripting languages I learned to build web applications with was ColdFusion. It was a lot of fun! In some ways it is a great way to build your first web site since it is so simple, so much like HTML, yet very powerful. I'm sure ColdFusion has come a long way since I first used it.
In June of 2005 I was invited to give a keynote at CFUnited, one of the premier ColdFusion conferences around. It was a fun, and early preview of ColdFusion running on early alpha builds of IIS7. I remember hacking the frankenstein build together with a few private fixes from the dev team, and some custom tweaks to the configuration system, and then holding my breath as I went on stage to show off how some of the new, cool capabilities of IIS7 we were dreaming could help ColdFusion developers. Luckily, all the demos worked and the talk went off without a hitch.Fast forward almost two years, and it is fun to see ColdFusion developers getting the product in Vista and writing about it. If you are looking for more information on how to get ColdFusion running on Vista and IIS7, check out this article: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=224AA by Heidi Bautista. It provides a great step-by-step overview of how to get rocking on IIS7.
