Well you can easily just create a logs/[sitename]/logfile structure in IIS and point each site to their corresponding log folder, we do it all the time.
Why is it an extra step to do that backup process? Of which can be automated anyhow. We get very good support from Microsoft as and when we need thanks, we are a big customer of theirs :-) I am still yet to find a decent argument on why anyone should use Apache over IIS from your chosen arguments. True there is URL rewriting but then again, maybe you shouldn't need to do this if your website structures are friendly out of the box :-) "This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom), a division of Reed Business, Registered in England, Number 678540.

I'm sure you would love to backup the configuration every time you make a change. I prefer not having to do the extra step. Don't forget that to do anything even slightly advanced in IIS, you have to edit the metabase by hand (such as to enable compression), or edit the config files for third party modules such as ISAPI rewrite. > "Mod_mono allows you to run .NET pages on many different platforms > including > windows and linux.

In my experience, you will usually receive faster and better support on open source mailing lists. Plus there's always the option of running IIS and Apache side by side, and having them listen on different IPs, should you need IIS for some of the sites for some reason.
