Introducing IIS Developer Express – Damien Edwards

Intro IIS Express
    IIS Express is self contained version of IIS 7.5, that is optimized for developers, that will hopefully replace VS IIS.  This will be include in future VS update, or can download web matrix. (it does not support non-http transports)  Currently there is no 64 bit version.

Visual Studio Integration
    From Comand prompt run iisexpress.exe.  Use appcmd.exe to look at and modify config files.  Once installed can set as default development web server.  Solution explorer will show web link if using IIS express to instead of IIS. 
Advanced Scenarios
    Will setup the IIS Express web, when downloaded from TFS, if user doesn’t have IIS, also allows remote access to these temp IIS sites (blogs.iis.net/vaiydyg)(to see how to do remote access)

After listen to this talk, I’m not sure we will use this, as it seems that is designed more for people who are not admins on their machines, and do not have acess to IIS, or would rather not use IIS.
