How about the ability to remotely administer other IIS servers from the
commandline? Oh... Wait... That's a security hole. =3Dop

AFAIK, IIS integrates more easily with M$ Outlook, ColdFusion, MSSQL, etc.
For some reason people seem to think this adds functionality. Ironicially,
most of those people don't realize that "products from other vendors" have
precisely the same functionality (and in many cases more) just so they can
compete with it (Ex: M$'s WebDAV -> Apache WebDAV, M$SQL -> mod_mysql, etc.=
)=20
