Well then why not just not install it. I see what you're saying
about security, but if they are a home user and they don't need it, they
probably wouldn't even know how to install it. It sucks that when I want a
new computer now, I will have get professional and pay $100 just to get IIS.Robert Everland III Dixon Ticonderoga Web Developer Extraordinaire -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 11:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: web server for XP home? > I do find it unforgiveable that Microsoft didn't include IIS > in XP Home, it is very shortsighted on their part. I feel exactly the opposite. I think it would be unforgivable if Microsoft put a web server in a home OS. If you want to run a web server, you can always get one, but the vast majority of home users - and end-users in general - neither need to run a web server nor want to. Nor would they understand the potential security implications of doing so.
