I saw IIS7 last year at the MVP Summit, and I've been really bummed because I haven't been able to talk about it. Today, the Group Program Manager, Bill Staples, finally allowed us to start talking about it.
IIS7 represents the unification of ASP.NET and IIS. Let me clarify what that means. Right now, ASP.NET is implemented as an ISAPI extension for IIS. That will still be true in ASP.NET 2.0. In IIS7, that changes. Instead, the concepts of HTTP pipelines, handlers, modules, XML config files, etc... are all natively built into the platform.
