Install IIS 6 on Windows XP


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if it was possible to install IIS 6 from a windows server 2003 cd on to a windows xp installation using some of the techniques used to add system restore to 2k3 for instance. I'll be doing some research and hopefully will have a working guide posted here after all is said and done. If you guys have any input or if this has already been done please reply to this thread.

Wouldnt that be considering a breech of the EULA, i mean 'tweaking' is one thing but ripping features from one MS OS and placing them in another is a shade of gray. Especially when they are 'updated' features Microsoft want you to PAY for to be able to use. ;)

Checked the EULA, and what aeons said seems to be correct. You could do it in theory as long as you stoped using your copy of Windows 2003.

So people are going to buy a $1000 OS and then not use it and install IIS 6.0 on Windows XP? ;) :whistle:

But it sounds cool anyways, if you can get it to work. I think i agree with dougkinzinger that you dont have a very good chance.

*edit* Just noticed your sig dougkinzinger, way to be understated and modest ;) lmao (talking about the last bit) I hope thats a joke to all the peeps that list every last chip revision in their sigs lol :D *edit*

This is a bit strage you purchase (or steal) 2003 Server and want to put IIS6 on XP.

I was making a different point...

Say I have 100 developers, with 2000 Pro / IIS5, each could run a local copy of their application for their own testing.

With IIS6, unless you kit each developer out with another machine AND a license for Server 2003, you can't do the same.

100 x machines and Server 2003 Web edition licenses = a lot of money

It's a point I have raised with Microsoft...

Emmm, you mean put 100 IPs / hostnames on the machine or 100 Web Servers?

Not exactly elegant.

And, EVERY other dev house I know of works the same way as we do.

Plus if a developer toasts the machine, everyone is offline...

Uh, calm down there highschooler dude....Stick with what you know.

    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....

    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
