Yeah, if you want to "host" more than one site. Here is a link that shows the differences: http://www.iisfaq.com/Default.aspx?tabid=2596
I have IIS set up on my Windows XP Pro laptop so that I can test various sites that I'm working on. If you want to process scripts in ASP, etc., those files need to be run from the c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder. What I have done is copied my other site folders into the C:\inetpub folder, then change the name of that folder to wwwroot (rename the default one to MASTERwwwroot or something) when I want to work on a site. In other words, c:\inetpub\mysite becomes the new c:\inetpub\wwwroot when I want to work on it. Yeah, it's a pain but that is the only way that I've found to get around it. Not sure if that helps, or if that is even what you are trying to accomplish. Holler if you have other questions and I will do what I can to help!

Fine for some things but it sounds like your expectations might be a little high. Is this for testing purposes?
