Modular Architecture
In IIS 7, the Web server is composed of modules that you can add and remove from the server as needed. The new architecture lets you: Customize your server by adding only the features that you need and use, which minimizes the security and memory footprint of the Web server. Configure features (such as authentication, authorization, and custom errors) that were previously duplicated in IIS and ASP.NET in one location. Apply existing ASP.NET features, such as Forms authentication or URL authorization, to all request types.
Compatibility
IIS 7 Web server guarantees maximum compatibility for existing applications. IIS 7.0 lets you continue to: Use existing Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) and WMI scripts. Run Active Server Pages (ASP) applications without changes to code. Run existing ASP.NET 1.1, and ASP.NET 2.0 applications to work without code changes (when you run in an application pool with ISAPI mode in IIS 7). Use existing ISAPI extensions without changes. Use existing ISAPI filters except those which rely on READ RAW notifications.
Hardware and Software for the IIS 7.0 Web Server Role
The hardware and software requirements for the Web server role are the same as requirements for Windows Server 2008. Use performance counters, lab test results, existing data from production environments, and pilot roll-outs to determine the capacity needed for your server and adjust as necessary.
