IIS 7 will be great!
I’m in a session with Bill Staples titled “IIS on PHP” and he showed how to setup PHP to work with IIS 7. He has documented it on his blog here. I’ll just tell you real quick what to do.
Go to Handler Mappings, add a script map to the php isapi dll (name may be different pending version of php), and click OK. Done.
Huh? What? Where? :-) That’s crazy huh?
Checkout Bill’s blog for the screenshots, etc. I’m sure you can do the same with CF. Once I get CF 8 installed (or grudgingly install 7 since 8 won’t install on Vista right now), I’ll try it out and see if it works. If you are on Vista and have CF installed, try it out and let me know how things work. :-)

cool John - thanks for the post. Yep, setting up CF is just as easy. In fact, I did a very similar talk for CFUnited last year, where I demo’d ColdFusion on IIS7. I used to write a lot of CF code in a previous life. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the session. ;)

Awesome! Thanks for the follow-up. Did you see CF working better on IIS7 just like how you guys showed the tremendous performance increase for PHP?
A previous life huh? :-) Good stuff.

How about Ruby on Rails? Will it be as easy to set up? I’ve been having a devil of a time trying to get it working with IIS 6

That I’m not 100% sure about. It wasn’t even asked. But I will tell you, if it can’t do it out of the box, someone can write a module to allow it pretty easily.
What I do know is, if there is an executable that manages Ruby (which I’m pretty sure that’s what ruby.exe is for) then you’ll just follow the same steps BillS’ blog has. It may be worth it to ask Bill about Ruby on IIS. They may have tested it already.
They def’ are focusing a lot on PHP. I found it interesting that they were/are focusing in on it so much. I’d like to see what happens in the next 12 to 18 months with this focus.
