Why IIS7? Top 12 cool features…
Every time I talk with customers in meetings or at conferences I’m struck by how many cool amazing new capabilities IIS7 has. I can go on for literally hours talking about the new features and benefits, and showing demos. And with each new IIS7 Extension, the list of new features just gets bigger and bigger. A few months ago I realized we didn’t have the top list of features written up anywhere, and so we started the process of distilling down the list to the top 10. We almost made it! We ended up with the top 12 reasons you should get IIS7 today. Check them out here:

Remote Administration and Delegation in IIS7
In this screencast, we configure our IIS7 server for remote administration and delegation. The remote administration service in IIS7 is a new and powerful feature that allows us to connect securely to our remote IIS server using a firewall-friendly SSL connection. Additionally, we can choose to use traditional Windows accounts for authentication or choose the new IIS Manager user accounts instead.
We will walk through the steps you must perform as the IIS administrator as well as the experience for a remote administrator using delegated features. -

Using ASP.NET Forms Authentication with all types of content on IIS7 (Video)
One of my favorite ASP.NET features is forms authentication, supported by the powerful membership system in ASP.NET 2.0. Back when I built Web applications for a living, I remember agonizing over the building the authentication support for my applications. What developer wants to spend time building authentication infrastructure, tying it intimately to a custom-built membership store, and subjecting your application and server to SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks, when you'd rather just focus on the app itself? I won't spin any longer on ASP.NET forms auth and membership virtues, but if you are new to these features, check out this content on Scott's blog.

Beta 3 release marks the first time the FastCGI feature has been a part of a Windows release, enabling PHP and other application frameworks to run on Windows with great performance and reliability. Making them a part of IIS and Windows means no more downloading and installing other components, or worrying about whether the tools you are using are supported, patched and ready for production use.

IIS7 URLAuthorization: Get rid of file system permissions! (Video)
Setting file system permissions (or NTFS ACLs as they are also known) can be a real pain in the rear. Not only do you have to deal with sometimes complicated inheritance rules, but they don't copy easily - especially across machines, and they can easily get trashed or re-set unintentionally. Starting with IIS7, you can avoid setting file permissions on content as a way to protect it, and instead store the authorization rules in your application's web.config file. That means anywhere you copy the content, the authorization rules flow with it!
