My boss has lots of lovely (NOT!) things to say about it. But then he is
biased - he's the product manager for O'Reilly's WebSite.
IIS does lots wrong, but it's not terrible. The API is a bit pants, and
while it's very quick at static files, it cheats. See
http://www.wgg.com/rants/benchmark.html for some details on that. It's
also a bloated pig - and you thought Apache+mod_perl used up lots of RAM,
wait till you get IIS+MTS+Index Server running....
