None. ;) The versions of IIS have always been tied to the OS they are
released with and IIS 7 is no exception.

Not quite so - NT4 shipped with IIS2, IIS3 was downloadable as part of
Service Pack 3, IIS4 was part of the NT Option Pack, so technically IIS3 and
IIS4 did not ship with an OS. Also IIS1 did not ship as part of NT3.51, it
was an add-on. ;)

But you're right in that each version of IIS will only run on a single major
version of Windows.

Hi,

Currently IIS 7.0 is the component of Windows server 2008(Longhorn) and
Windows Vista.

It's the truth that the main version of IIS always crresponds to the OS
version. The only exception I know is Windows XP 64bit ships with the 64bit
version IIS 6.0 instead of the original IIS 5.1.

Please update here if you have any concern or further questions.

Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang
