Mark;

One of the “fun” things about PWS is comparing it to IIS. There are some things PWS will not let you do. I could never find a list of “missing features”, but did use PWS successfully for a number of projects and then put together an IIS machine. Luckily I never met any of the missing features. :)

PWS was easy to use while IIS can be a bit of a pain.
