In vista you need to open control pannel and find (programs / windows feature) Then you turn on the IIS feature.
If you install community server be sure to get the latest version.
Your last question on .NET 2.0 apps running on IIS 7 and vista. They do, I would just recommend testing before you port those applications over. The items I have seen cause trouble are older .asp applications and .NET apps that use custom 3rd party controls or resources.

Great article. I would also recommend people looking at CoreFTP Server
http://www.coreftp.com/server/index.html
It is a solid secure ftp server.
Congrats on the new site launch. Did you switch from Community server because of the cost? Or was it for features?
Take a look at Cerberus FTP server. AD integration at only $290. Also, the developer is much better to work with than the ass at FileZilla.

I have found that using IIS with Wordpress is a pretty good combo. After getting familiar with MySQL I can see how people like the PHP / MySQL combination.
We switched for a few reasons. I think everyone on the team was familiar with wordpress and what is needed customize and use it. It was a simple decision to use it as the system for the many extra features is provided us.
Community server is a great product. It seemed to be more of a chore for us to keep up with features and work-arounds than just using the system. It may be more of a tool than we needed.
so I have been checking out your site for the past month and it is very interesting, do you have a RSS feed?
FileZilla doesn’t allow for any of the protocols mentioned above. It can do plain FTP or FTP over SSL (FTPS). It cannot do FTP over SSH (SFTP) which is the preferred method of secure FTP.
For SFTP I prefer COPSSH. It’s free and can integrate with Active Directory. So far, it’s the only free solution that does AD. Cerberus is great as well, but there’s a cost with it.
