About point 1: Well Microsoft has been known for its ability to zigzag and sometimes do complicated somersaults. They might come around if they see profit in it.   Amit Zinman Systems Consultant Integrity Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03-7522424 058-326753   -----Original Message----- From: Rick Kingslan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 4:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] IIS 6   Amit -   You are correct.  But, there are two issues with this line of thought from the standpoint of what the poster was looking to get - which, sadly, he won't.   1.  Web Server Edition (at least as I write now - they changed the name 5 times - they might change this too, but I doubt it) will not be generally available as a separate SKU item.  IOW, you will have to purchase it with a system.  The wisdom of this, IMHO, is questionable - though fact.   2.  It is cheaper - because it doesn't do much else other than web services.  But - it still is IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003.  It's not going to allow you to drop it on any OS that you want.   I suspect (reading posts I get a good feel for the rate of absorption for folks....) that you know this.  Look at it as if I'm just helping to clear up the possible misconceptions that will spew forth.  ;o)   Rick Kingslan  MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Amit Zinman Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 7:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] IIS 6 There will be a separate product (called blade in development) now renamed Windows 2003 web server. It is just a web server and cheaper then a regular license.   Amit Zinman Systems Consultant Integrity Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03-7522424 058-326753   -----Original Message----- From: David N.
