Robert,   I think it's likely.  IIS 6.0 would be a great platform for an embedded webserver.  It's a lot harder to compromise firmware......  (though, not impossible... just harder) 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 Robert Moir Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 8:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] IIS 6 Hey Rick, you thinking we might see a lot of small "appliances" similar to the cobalt cube built on this or what? I'm curious as to what sort of take up people see for this kind of product. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Kingslan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 January 2003 14:26 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.
