Some people were asking me about webdav in IIS for Vista ... and you're right it's not there. But check out Keith Moore's blog on the future of webdav with IIS (I was impressed). Keith's background is somewhat legendary on the team and so I have high...

Recently we started an effort to again look at the centralized content and configuration story and see where we can improve for IIS7. It was a bit amazing to me that some people had not yet read the whitepaper from Brett Hill and myself on remote content...

Windows Server 2003 and IIS6 released in March of 2003. Last week, we released a patch for asp.dll to fix our first vulnerability in over 3 years! It was kind of a sad day for the team (but one that we knew would come), because after IIS5, we committed...
