Multihomed FTP please? ;)
yes, the FTP is easy to configure, but limited in functionality compared
to unix ftpd (although warFTPd fills that hole for free, just complaining
because i really dislike IIS's ftpd)

PWS does a decent job as a standalone web server.

Just curious, did you dial the 1-900 line for priority support? Or did you
pay the $35 for priority support, per incident?

Or did you opt to wait 15+ minutes for "standard support" while the call
was billed to you?

This is one of the main reasons (besides not having the source) I dislike
MS op systems.
