I normally have Windows Server on my portable for compatability issues while writing code, that is, i get to develop on a portable server. Now i need to update either to 2008 R2 or Windows 7 64 (any flavor) and i am leaning toward windows 7, but i am unsure the true differences between the to IIS's. I do install several IIS objects, such as ASPEmail, ASPPDF, ASPUpload, Lanapsoft Captcha and a few others. They all work well in 2008 R2 and i am concerned that they may or may not work inside of Windows 7
I'd say you can pretty much replace Vista with Windows 7 and 2008 with 2008 R2 in this article.

The various controls and libraries you mention should almost certainly work as long as you aren't trying to host many concurrent users due to the request limits.

I got 2 websites in my IIS.
When I'm trying to link ColdFusion and IIS, ColdFusion web server tool don't see my websites.
You can see it in the image.
My ColdFusion version is 11 Enterprise Edition, IIS version 6.1, Windows server 2008 rc2 operating system.
I'm working on Oracle Virtualbox.
Known CF11 bug. You need to install the Microsoft C++ 2008 x64 SP1 Redistributable (or x86 if you're running 32bit).
The Visual C++ redistributable package is missing. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86/x64) and then try again.

Is Media Foundation supported on Windows 2012 64 bit server? We can not have Windows 7 or Windows 8 as the server and that's the reason we are opting for Windows 2012 server.
As NAudio 1.7 is released now, we would like to utilize the new functionality with Media Foundation.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Yes, you can install the Media Foundation components on Windows Server 2012.
Use the Add Roles and Features wizard from the Server Manager. Skip through to Features and select Media Foundation.
Also if you are using Windows Server 2008 R2 you can Add Features from Server Manager and then Select "Desktop Experience"

On Windows 8, is there any way of running IE8 & 9 besides using rendering mode in IE10 or creating a virtual setup? As with previous versions of IE, IE10 doesn't seem to render 8 and 9 properly. Also tried IE Collection which won't install any of these versions on Windows 8.
I don't believe this is possible due to programmatic differences and dependencies Microsoft creates (for whatever reason). The typical alternatives are to install a Virtual Machine (Microsoft Virtual PC, or VirtualBox, or VmWare Desktop Products) with XP or W7 and have a Virutal Machine for each unique IE version you need.
Update
Anyone using Windows 8, Virtual PC has been renamed to the server version Hyper-V, comes with Windows 8 by default, and is not installed by default.
Update 2
I'd also recommend taking a look at https://www.browserstack.com/. It's a very nice product (I have no affiliation with that company, I've only used the product with much success).

I am currently looking at upgrading my development environment in an attempt for it to replicate IIS on my production web server. My production web server is new and only recently spun up with windows server 2012 and IIS8.
I am working on a windows 7 machine locally.
Is it possible to install IIS8 on a windows 7 machine?
And if so, how can I go about it?
This is a perfect scenario for a virtual machine. I would install some flavour of virtualization software and install the version of Windows Server that you are using in production on to it. This way, when you run IIS8 it will be in an environment that is much closer to your production web server ;-)

I have a Virtual Machine with MOSS 2007 (Enterprise), VS2008 and SQL 2005.
I want to start exploring 2010. I need to know what I need to get started.
Can I donwload 2010 beta from Microsoft Site? Can I just install it without any conflicts with existing setup?
Thanks.
Yes, you can download the beta from MSDN.
It only supports 64 bit. You should provide yourself at least 6GB of RAM for decent performance. You can install it on Win 7, Windows Server 2008 SP2, or Windows Server 2008 R2. You can use SQL Express or install SQL Server 2008 separately. If you use SQL Server, you will need to install CU2.
