Microsoft IIS v7 Details Emerge

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the noting-the-future dept.

daria42 writes "According to several .NET and Longhorn bloggers, the next version of Microsoft's IIS web server will integrate ASP.NET and turn many core features into optional modules in order to provide a smaller security footprint for hackers to attack. In addition, the software's admin tool has been completely revamped, and will allow Web-based remote administration utilising SSL."

    "Developers are simply going to love IIS 7 because they finally will have the ability to configure the settings they need without having to request them from an administrator," he said.

    Too bad he didn't mention the fact that developers would love IE 7 because the xhtml/css is being rendered the way w3c intended it. Or maybe he didn't mention it because that's no feature of IE 7. I develope web sites for the travel industry and IE 5.0 and up is our focus browser. I can't remember how many times I was hacking away in my solid xhtml/css design (working flawless in firefox) to make it look ok in IE. I'm not flaiming microsoft in this, but they sould really really really work at making sure their browser doesn't do 'funky' rendering stuff.

    When that's done, I'll admire that "configure settings" gladly.
