Supposedly Service Pack 2 for XP Pro may have IIS 6 on it or enable certain features. I can't say for sure but was pointed to read the feedback at http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLo.../2004/07/05/18323.aspx

If you understand it, let me know :)

EDIT: Here is the specific feedback thread statement at the above link:

" XP SP2 uses http.sys (like 2003). I heard some rumours that IIS6 would be in SP2 (like here http://blogs.msdn.com/webtrans...004/03/30/104372.aspx) but I have not heard anything to confirm that, and have not installed XP SP2 RC2."

SP2 adds in some extra functionality to IIS 5.1; but does not get you IIS 6.

The only way to get IIS 6 is to get Server 2003.
