then about half way through, it picked up and turned out to be a pretty intense video - I love the IIS Modules, that adds alot more options than the straight HttpModules and handlers we had before.

can't wait to test it out

Until then you can just use .Search, I go well past 15 million pages, full ranking control, spidering, crawling, stemming, reporting, and it runs on top of community server so it has the entire community server api.  And its open source and free Smiley  My previous version (Nata1) can go past 100,000 pages and is also free, drag and drop in less than 5 minutes Smiley

I do think that the indexer should be built into IIS and should allow you to spider, and crawl the file system, and that should be free with IIS.

Great video...but what about hosting? What new features are there for hosting providers? What about management programmability? Have you improved the WMI provider for IIS7? I'm tired of having to drop down to ADSI or ABO to work around bugs in WMI for IIS6.


We'll go deeper into IIS 7 in the future. Stay tuned.

Scoble, you're too obsessed . Cool

IE 7 team have ripped of the .htaccess file's abilities on Apache

IE 7 ?? Were you watching a different interview?  Don't even get started on "ripping off" when it comes to software.  The backbone of the software industry as a whole was (and is) built on "reuse" of ideas, methods, and approaches.  When it's taken from friendly sources it's called "inspiration".  When taken from a foe, it's called "ripping off".  Give me a break.  If this held true for cars, only one maker would have round wheels.  The others would have to ship with square, triangle and octagonal wheels so they wouldn't be "ripping off" their competitors.  Sheesh. :O

But I have the same questions as mrichman... so call to Channel9 team: please consider a future video about the improvements of IIS7 in a hosting environment!

Re: default documents... there are, naturally, tricks you can do to emulate a default index.html even if you're not an admin, like

default.asp:
<%
    Dim q
    q = Request.QueryString
    If q = "" Then
        Response.Redirect "index.html"
    Else
        Response.Redirect "index.html?" & q ' already URLEncoded
    End If
%>

One thing I always loved about UNIX is the degree of control you can have over your system by just using a text editor. No RegEdit or IIS console.

Good to see MS changing it's mind on this issue and returning to text file based configuration. Even better that they are using XML files. One thing I hate about UNIX is the myriad of different file formats you have to remember. Editors with schema-based Intellisense will make editing these files a breeze. Hint: This would be a great new feature for Notepad in Vista.

Nooooo!  Make a standalone XMLEditor instead.

While the simplicity of doing configuration with just a text editor is appealing, I still prefer a GUI for most things...Especially late at night or early in the morning (depending on your point of view) to at least curb the possiblity of making stupid mistakes.

I also enjoy being able to practically clone a server just by copying the xml file.

I can't help replying to the post about Microsoft "ripping off" stuff...People complain when Microsoft doesn't keep up, and they complain when Microsoft does keep up, and they complain when Microsoft is ahead...well, never mind, I guess I really don't know how to reply to that.Tongue Out


Keep up the good work guys!

As for the config files, it's thanks to XML that this can be good, the myriad of formats on unix/linux is a real PITA!

But they should only be complementary, the most important strength of windows is its GUI.

So MS, I'm very excited about these configuration files, but PLEASE don't forget to create a nice configuration GUI for everything as well !!!

And how powerful does the "web.config" become !   

Although I could see someone accidentally clobbering the config file for "a site" with the config file for "my application" - rather than merging into the same file...    oops !

With plugging modules in/out of IIS - how does that relate to FTP ??. 
From the video, you'll be able to include (or exclude) many different modules - does that include FTP ??   (if it IS a module).

Imagine if someone would want to run a purely FTP server - not serve up pages (or ASP.NET) or any other such stuff...

Basically, how does FTP slot into IIS ??   Or are they separate ??

I heard a long while ago that it would be a great help to people in my line of work that have to maintain a large number of machines/installs. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Please look at some of the other 3rd party ftp software makers and bring some of those features into iis 6 and 7.
