Top Ten Reasons to Move to IIS 7.0 in Server 2008

The Microsoft Operations team gives a top ten list, explaining the best reasons why to move to IIS 7.0 (in Server 2008). This comes as part of Microsoft's dog food policy where they make use of their technology before releasing it to the masses. Specifically, www.microsoft.com has been running IIS 7.0 since June 12th of 2007.

Here are their top ten reasons, based on their upgrade experience...

1. Simple, Configurable Command Line Setup
2. Great Compatibility Story
3. No More Metabase!
4. Centralized Configuration
5. Delegated Configuration
6. AppCmd and Other New Management Options
7. Failed Request Tracing
8. Request Filtering
9. UNC Content
10. Output Caching of Dynamic Content

The post includes numerous specifics associated with these 10 core features. If you're considering an IIS upgrade, definitely check out the full post at:
