4sysops makes an interesting point by talking about the Microsoft website and its use of IIS7 on Server 2003:
It seems as if Microsoft upgraded its Web servers to IIS7. This Netcraft report indicates that they made the upgrade on June 8th. You can check it out yourself by using an HTTP header viewer. It is interesting to note that they run IIS 7.0 on Windows Server 2003.
"We did not even know that IIS 7 worked on Server 2003"
It is quite courageous to use beta software for Web servers having to cope with such a traffic load. They are not brave enough to run it on Windows Server 2008, though.

They have gone live with IIS7, but are running on Longhorn Server. Not sure why it shows Windows 2003.

Guess you guys have known it as Longhorn for so long now that Windows server 2008 just doesn’t do it for you anymore…?
Any-who; thanks for dropping by Bill
