Are you sure about that? Or rather, are you sure it's on by default?
I just checked my toy desktop machine and rebooted to the other
partition of my laptop, and didn't see it running on either.l To be
sure, I'd have turned it off if I knew it was on, but I have no idea
how to do things like that on Windows...

I am absolutely sure that the default for a workstation is NO IIS. I have
two. They exist as victims, what else, and they are not running anything of
the sort. I'm going to have to purchase one of those damnably expensive
win2k server 5-license copies, just so that I can have the new fingerprint
(hey, I only break my own machines for free).
There is absolutely not an install of IIS on win2k Pro, unless you put it
there.
Oh, and I DO know how to do things like that on windows (but prefer not
to).
