I’ve fallen WAY behind in my experience and knowledge of IIS. I follow the cool news about it and think, based on my reading/podcasts, the work done on IIS7+ is outstanding, but I’m feeling a little technically left behind (cough… more than a little… cough).

When I saw these I knew I had to grab them for that just-in-time need to re-learn IIS.

 

Plus I think the Virtual Labs are just cool… LOL
