Microsoft IIS 7.5 improves management options

摘要

Few products in the Microsoft portfolio have seen as positive a turnaround as the Internet Information Services Web server.rnNine years ago, IIS was a security nightmare that was regularly exploited by dangerous wormsrnand viruses. But, beginning with IIS 6, Microsoft made significant improvements in the security profile of the Web server-improvements that have erased IIS' bad security reputation. With IIS 7, Microsoft took many cues from open-source rival Apache, making IIS more modular in its deployment options and even relying on good old configuration files for much of the server's setup and administration.
