I don't believe anyone here will vote against flexibility. WUG 7's advances are a good start and I am hopeful that they will continue to enhance the product line to include those requests you've seen on the news group and via the wish list.
I am not sure that IPSwitch is willing to abandon the methodology they use now. There is a LOT to be said about the simplicity of plopping this on a Windows 95/98 platform and not have to install an additional package. Having said that, I recognize there may be a point where IPSwitch may choose to not use their own engine if the hue and cry for features oustrips their capability or willingness to implement them in their own server. But switching to IIS is NOT the answer. I am a Windows fan and if Microsoft continues to be a 900 lb gorilla in the market I accept that if the product is not detrimental to my environment. Microsoft may do many things right but they've proven that their web server engine is Swiss cheese where security is concerned.
