Bill Staples - An hour discovering IIS 7 | scobleizer

Manip

Synopsis: IE 7 team have ripped of the .htaccess file's abilities on Apache. Created a prettier admin UI and made it so the web.config file has a race problem where two sources can overwrite each other's changes (the admin tool overwriting notepad's changes for example). New extension mechanism, managed extensions...

.Search - Google Appliance killer

that started out pretty slow. The first 20 minutes I didn't see a single thing exciting.

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

wow - Scoble brought up the Search feature question at about 40 minutes in - sad to see that Longhorn server *might* bring this in.

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.

Prior to .NET 2.0 Beta 2, there was a managed assembly encapsulating the Metabase. Scott Guthrie told me this feature was pulled from scope for the release. Any updates on this feature?
