IIS 7.0 can be installed on XP or not ?

I found that many people were thinking regarding IIS 7.0 installation on XP. To answer this question I did few searches and found out that IIS 7.0 is only for Vista+ or Windows Server 2008+ .

Here is the source

So answer to above question is , IIS 7.0 can not be installed on XP :-)

If you want to use IIS 7.0 on XP then you can do it by downloading latest virtual server build which is available for free on the internet and then install vista on it.

Then install IIS on vista and enjoy IIS 7.0 but make sure your computer can run XP and VISTA, both at the same time.
