ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft has added another "core" product, one that will make Web hosting companies and Web farm administrators happy: Internet Information Services 7.0 is now available as a server core installation on Windows Server 2008.
When Bob Muglia, senior vice president of Server and Tools, made the announcement during the opening keynote of its TechEd conference in Orlando Monday, he received applause from the audience.
Server core represents a new, modular approach by Microsoft with Windows 2008. They allow for installations of only necessary components to fit a specific server role, rather than a large, default installation that takes up much more space.
