I find it really strange that Microsoft hasn't employed 10 "monkeys" to produce the GUI required to do all the settings in IIS. They should be able to do this in no time at all (relative to how long we are wainting for stuff from that company).

You might argue that they don't want to do this until the configuration schema has been stabilized, but come on(!), the 10 monkeys can do it again and again and again. GUI to change config settings is probably the easiest programming task you have. I know the development process and life cycle at M$ is kindo of heavy and bloated, but I really don't get this!
