                        I've read conflicting information about whether it's possible to load IIS onto Windows 7 Home.
Does anyone know any information about it or has tried it?
Thanks in advance!

                                        That's the page that has the conflicting information:
                                According to Microsoft Technet, you can install IIS on Windows 7 home editions:So, is the Microsoft Technet site correct?

                                        well, I would imagine technet is correct

                                        You could install IIS on Vista Home. I think it was XP Home you couldn't officially install it on but there were hacks that allowed you to.

                                        The hacks were ridiculous with XP Home.  I bought XP Pro and haven't looked back.  But I'd like to avoid the same problem with Windows 7.  
I presume Technet is correct, but wanted to confirm with others because of the conflicting information.
It's a good point that IIS could be installed on Vista Home.

                                        As far as I am aware it was just XP Home that IIS could not (officially) be installed on. It looks like it can be installed on Vista and Windows 7 Home versions.
If you buy Windows 7 in the EU before 31/12/2009 you get it at "upgrade" prices so the difference between Home & Professional may not be that much. Upgrade pricing should always be available in the US.
