Tasty Morsels Found In Dogfood-Top 10 reasons Microsoft.com chose IIS7
link: original article - section: microsoft
Dogfood….yummmm! Yes it is true, Microsoft.com has been running Beta 3 of Windows Server 2008 in production since June 12, 2007. What does that mean?
78 of 80 servers that host the www.microsoft.com website are running W2K8 Beta 3 and IIS7.0. Why only 78? We keep a couple of servers running our previous build of W2k3 and IIS6.0 as a reference. The move from W2K3 to W2K8 while very slick, is a topic for another blog. This is about the top 10 changes that we encountered in IIS7.0
1. Simple, Configurable Command Line Setup
2. Great Compatibility Story
3. No More Metabase!
4. Centralized Configuration
5. Delegated Configuration
6. AppCmd and Other New Management Options
7. Failed Request Tracing
8. Request Filtering
9. UNC Content
10. Output Caching of Dynamic Content
Well that is our Top 10. We are making new discoveries every week and are looking forward to the next builds that we can update to. We are filing bugs when we find them and will continue to push information to the product teams and we will try and keep this blog updated as new, juicy morsels are discovered in the Dogfood.
