The actual documents claim to be version 1.4, however the original version of 1.4 had an incorrect year listed (2007). I suspect that V2 is just 1.4 with the corrected year.

What is version 2? RC2? RTM? I have the final version installed (RTM) on my laptop - no problems noted. Belarc Advisor shows only Vista SP1 Build 6001. No version number. ???

V2 is RTM. It was sent to MSDN testers end of Jan.

Roger that! I got it through my MS TechNet subscription last month. I now have the ISO files of Vista 32 and 54 with SP1 embedded.

Heh!

I quickly read through the 'Notable SP1 changes' (XPS version) and it said:

• "IIS 7: IIS was included in some Windows Vista SKUs to enable web-based developers to write and test their applications. IIS in Windows Server 2008 is a significant server role which requires Internet-level scalability and performance requirements. The IIS7 components have gone through significant performance and reliability enhancements since Windows Vista originally shipped, in order to be a large-scale server component. These changes do not affect most Windows Vista users who do not even have the IIS7 components installed, however because a Windows Vista and Windows Server are aligned, these changes are included in Windows Vista SP1."

I thought, "Oh, Bull!" but, it turned out that my Vista HP SP1 lappy now has IIS 7 available, e.g. I can use my lappy for a web server!

LoL!

Did Vista HP RTM have IIS 7 available? I'm not about to uninstall SP1 to find out...

Kinda makes a Vista Ultimate upgrade a waste of money, no?

Koo!

Well, I'm running web servers on Slackware and CentOS, but I like playing around with IIS.

Maybe I'll give it a whirl.

LoL!

Vista never fails to amaze me...
