Wondering what Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 looks like on Windows Server 2008 Server Core? Wondering if your specific bug was one of the (almost) thousand bugs that were fixed in the last two months? Wondering what Windows Server Codename "Longhorn" looks like nowadays? Do you want your Windows Server 200 Beta test server to display "Windows Server (TM) 2008" instead of "Windows Server Codename Longhorn" on the desktop?
