Windows Server is now available!
The Windows Server 2003 family builds on the proven reliability,
scalability, and manageability of Windows 2000 Server
while improving essential services. Now with enhanced
security and better performance, the Windows Server 2003
family offers the best server infrastructure for increasing
IT efficiency, developing applications quickly, and enhancing
productivity.
Designed for dedicated Web serving and hosting, Windows
2003, Web Edition, delivers a single-purpose solution
for Internet service providers, application developers,
and others who use or deploy specific Web functionality.
Windows 2003, Web Edition, takes advantage of improvements
in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, Microsoft
ASP.NET, and the Microsoft .NET Framework to make it easier
to build and host Web applications, Web pages, and XML
Web services
A highly effective platform for ASP.NET–based intranet
and Internet deployments. Windows Server 2003, Web Edition,
includes the newly re-architected IIS 6.0, ASP.NET, and
the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Internet Information Services (IIS)
Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 is a full-featured
Web server that provides existing Web-based applications
and XML Web services. IIS 6.0 offers dedicated application
mode, which runs all application code in an isolated environment.
IIS 6.0 also supports Web gardens, in which a set of equivalent
processes on a computer each receive a share of the requests
normally served by a single process, achieving better
multi-processor scalability.
Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 is a powerful
Web server which provides a highly reliable, manageable,
scalable, and secure Web application infrastructure. IIS
6.0 enables organizations of all sizes to quickly and
easily deploy Web sites and provides a high-performance
platform for applications built using Microsoft ASP.NET
and the Microsoft .NET Framework.
IIS 6.0 can increase the reliability of your Web infrastructure,
reduce your total cost of ownership through easier server
management and server consolidation, increase the security
of your information systems, and deliver a platform for
improved developer productivity.

 ASP.NET
ASP.NET is the engine for Web-based applications and XML
Web services. It brings rapid application development
to the server. Part of the class library in the .NET Framework,
ASP.NET pages use a compiled, event-driven programming
model that improves performance and enables the separation
of application logic and user interface.
Lab Report: Windows Server 2003 Outperforms Predecessors
VeriTest, an independent test lab, has found that Windows
Server 2003 outperforms Microsoft® Windows 2000 Server
and Microsoft Windows NT® Server 4.0 by a dramatic
margin—typically performing two to three times faster
on the same hardware.
Compared to Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows Server 2003
is:
- Two times faster on average as a file server.
- Three times faster serving dynamic Web content.
- Four times faster serving static Web content.
