IIS 7.0 Learns a Few Tricks from Apache

Posted by Zonk on from the old-dog-new-tricks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to BetaNews, Microsoft is learning a few tricks from Apache for the next release of IIS, version 7.0. Specifically, the IIS feature set has been broken down into modules to reduce overhead. Modules can be changed on the fly, without restarting the Web server. Also, the IIS metabase has been completely dropped in favor of easily editable XML configuration files. Each Web application can have its own config file that overrides the system-wide configuration."

    1) some other news site has a badly written story 2) some idiot with no background knowledge does no research, just scans the article and pops together a couple of sentences and submits 3) editors notice the magic 'M$ vs OSS' theme and the potential for 'debate' 4) sheep go over the same old arguments, mostly with no understanding of the software in question 5) ... 5) no profit... in reading this rubbish!
