Well ... _I_ don't like IIS (3 or 4) because they take up a lot of space and
have a lot of overhead that in my situation is unnecessary. I will admit
that
if you have some IT pro working on it 40hrs/week it can run fast, good, and
smooth.
IIS is also too complicated for what it does. If you want a small Personal
Web
Server (like MS claims) then why do you need 50+ Meg of software to do
that?
Apache, once up and running only takes <5Meg HD, and about 3Meg in RAM.
(CGI scripts not included)
Active Server Pages is about the only thing that IIS does have going for it,
but I could achieve something similar with SHTML or SSI.

You're talking about FrontPage? I'm not sure. I write all my HTML by hand.

And a good thing to ... it's starting to appear that iMatix is going to be
quite
easy and simple to set up, run, and admin. Now if it can do Networked
computers
(directories on other systems) for FTP, then I'd be really happy ...
