I think you are confusing how many web "servers" with how many "websites"
a given instance of a web server will serve?
A Web site runs on a Web server so what does Vista have to do with this?
I have Apache and IIS running side-by-side on my XP Pro machine. I use
Apache to learn RoR. After twenty years of supporting this vendor I am
nearing my patience with the lies and deception from Microsoft that hurts
the little guy like me. So I'm hedging my bets in that regard and the
question is not how many web servers will run.
How many Web sites does XP support? What does the O/S have to do with how
many Web sites a Web server will support.
The question is how many websites does Vista support. Not to be insulting
but if you were an experienced web developer you would already understand
the question.
You got IIS7 running on the machine you would see it, and no one would have
to tell you, if you were all that, no insult.
BTW, I have been programming since 1980, and I have been doing Web
development off and on since 2000. I have been doing .Net Web development
since 2004. I got phone calls for me to take possible Web devilment
contracts from the East to West coast and to the North and South boarders of
the US.
As I matter of fact, I have a phone interview today at 3:30 pm EST for
contract up in northern OH for a major insurance company. I got another one
lined up on Wednesday, and have three more interviews for .Net contracts
coming up soon, so partner I more that have the expertise.
I am not a Web server Admin, but I know my s*it about Web and workstation
business application development on the MS platform. I work for the big boys
the billion dolar companies contracting with Web server farms with a state
server, and not something happening at the workstation .
I have to go. I got to get ready for this phone interview.
Here keep looking for the number, use Google.

There are a couple of additional IIS7 features that I feel warrant
mentioning. First, the ASP.NET Tracing features can now be integrated with
the IIS logging features to provide a single, consolidated place to go for
diagnostic information, reducing the time it takes to troubleshoot server
issues. Second, the version of IIS7 that comes with Windows Vista will now
allow multiple Web sites to be configured at the same time. This is a big
improvement over the single Web site limitation of IIS 5.1 that sits on
Windows XP Professional. Not only that, but while there is still a limit of
10 concurrent connections on the version of IIS7 that comes with Windows
Vista, the overage will not be denied. Rather, they will be placed on the
request queue and processed in order.
