The next version of Microsoft's Internet Information Services Web server (IIS7) will integrate the ASP.NET development technologies and turn many core features into optional modules.
In addition, the software's admin tool has been completely revamped, allowing more secure and complete Web-based remote administration.
Details of the upgrade are gradually emerging as Microsoft gives key industry partners access to sneak previews of IIS7, which is due to be released with the company's next major operating system -- dubbed Longhorn -- late in 2006.
