IIS 7 shipped with Windows Server 2008, but included the old FTP server. The IIS team released a revamped FTP server (as well as a number of additional modules - like the Request Routing module, FastCGI module etc). These are all, effectively, "plug ins" to the central IIS architecture now.

Those were released "later", they were downloadable, and they were installable. Etc., etc. You probably remember the IIS version better than I, but I'm guessing it was 6.5 or something.

This is why we've seen some things decoupled - such as IIS, which comes with the OS but has been updated independently during the last several release cycles. We might see new GPs in a SP, but I doubt they'll add much in terms of functionality during a SP to _core OS_ features (and I consider AD and GP processing to be core OS, I haven't investigated this particular issue in the SP1 beta myself - not one of my particular interests).

It'll be in Update Rollup 2 to Feature Pack 1. ;-) ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
