When I checked it yesterday, the configuration was horribly fubared.

They were trying to use a virtual server, but the permissions were such that 
the server could not get any of the web contents.

I am expecting someone to hack that server and add a picture of a guy with a 
gun to his head and the logo "We have the way out!".

I find it funny that Microsoft is trying to sell people on the idea that 
Microsoft admins need less training than Unix admins.  To do it right, they 
need *MORE* training.  (As well as weird arcane knowledge about what registry 
entries to tweak.) Their sales pitch seems to be "It has a GUI and we have 
lots of money, so it must be better!".
