Microsoft.com: top 10 reasons they love IIS7
I just ran across this post and had to share. The Microsoft.com team just posted the top 10 reasons they like IIS7.

Calling All Hosters
Just a quick heads-up to any web hosters who read my blog about The Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hosting Roadshow that will be offered around the world in the next few months.

Good Reading... 8/14/2007
I haven't been able to write for a few weeks due to some time off and other "distractions".

TechNet Podcast Interview on IIS7
I had the pleasure of chatting with Chris Henley the other day as part of the Windows Server 2008 Podcasts - Interviews with key Product Managers series. Chris is a smart guy and it turned out to be a pretty fun interview. I did this interview on one of my days off, while sitting at home in my comfortable leather recliner. The result is a more relaxed Bill than normal, which may turn out to be enjoyable for some or potentially put others to sleep. :)

IIS7 on Server Core - June CTP build released!
I'm excited to announce that a new build of IIS7 and Windows 2008 Server is available for testing by Beta testers. 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.
