Orcas, IIS7 and Windows XP

[Sune42]

Hi

Lets say that me an my developer team wants to develope a website
using Orcas and ASP.NET 3.0 features, targeting IIS7 on a future
longhorn server.

And we want to keep our windows XP (Don't want to move to Vista)

Is that possible to develop against ASP.NET 3.0/IIS7 on a XP machine
using Orcas?

Or are we all forced to make the move to Vista?

Or can I run a longhorn IIS7 instance in a VM on each developer
machine?

will remote debugging against a VM/IIS7 be efficient and good? or will
I loose
functionality due to the remote debugging?


How will you XP fanatics setup your environment to achive this?

Hello Sune42,

Nope, you can't use IIS7 on XP.
IIS7 is tighly coupled with the windows internals and cant be used on other
version
