Your statements clearly shows your inexperience in this environment... and I'm suprised that after 11 months, you could not figure this out!!! Anyone who has little experience with IIS (4,5,6) knows that inetpub/wwwroot is the DEFAULT locacion and NOT the ONLY location to create a virtual directory... If you want to create a web project in a location, you must first create the virtual directory to point to that location. You can do this from IIS manager or from the target folder's properties under the "Web Sharing" tab. You notice that I've not mentioned .net because these are simple IIS configuration tasks. You can also run asp.net under any account of your choosing. This stuff isn't magic, you have to do some work as well... my advice to you is get some training.

You are right! Not that hard to get it working, but in defense of the GP with VS2003 it is a huge pain to get it to open a web project when you start moving the directories around. Sometimes it just doesn't want to work. Thankfully this has been fixed in VS2005 which has a MUCH more intuitive way of opening projects (right off the filesystem).
"So in summary... Google has pulled the plug on support on a protocol they've helped popularize, after years of promising interoperability, for reasons that are dubious at best, and in a way that leaves people who don't jump to the new Hangouts app unable to talk to their contacts without any feedback that their IMs aren't getting through... And they've done that with no warning to anyone. I imagine there's a bunch of people out there wondering where some of their buddies have gone, or why their messages aren't getting responses, because this isn't documented anywhere." Google really messed this up. Such a dick move.
The Tizen Greek Community has some screenshots of a very recent build of Tizen running on a Samsung GT-i8800. It looks wholly unremarkable.Joint statement to The Next Web from Microsoft and Google: "Microsoft and YouTube are working together to update the new YouTube for Windows Phone app to enable compliance with YouTube's API terms of service, including enabling ads, in the coming weeks. Microsoft will replace the existing YouTube app in Windows Phone Store with the previous version during this time." Good to know these children stopped acting like little pricks. Can we have full Google support in Windows 8 now, please?
Yahoo is acquiring Tumblr, the microblogging and social networking website, for $1.1 billion USD. Tumblr offers little revenue but lots of eyeballs if Yahoo can monetarize them. Now Yahoo is bidding for Hulu, the streaming video service. After years of ineffective responses while Google, Facebook, and others took large chunks of the online advertising market, Yahoo is fighting back. Can Yahoo reignite the momentum it had at the turn of the century? What do you think?
"Sources have described iOS 7 as 'black, white, and flat all over'. This refers to the dropping of heavy textures and the addition of several new black and white user interface elements." I couldn't be happier.
"Ilja van Sprundel, a security researcher with IOActive, has discovered a large number of issues in the way various X client libraries handle the responses they receive from servers, and has worked with X.Org's security team to analyze, confirm, and fix these issues."
"Google is facing a new antitrust probe by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission into whether the company is using its leadership in the online display-advertising market to illegally curb competition, people familiar with the matter said." Sucks to be Google today, apparently."In the midst of the major press blitz surrounding its annual I/O Conference, Google dropped some unfortunate news about its instant messaging plans. In several places around the web, the company is replacing the existing 'Talk' platform with a new one called 'Hangouts' that sharply diminishes support for the open messaging protocol known as XMPP (or sometimes informally Jabber), and also removes the option to disable the archiving of all chat communications. These changes represent a switch from open protocols to proprietary ones, and a clear step backward for many users." That's why I always say: only suckers trust companies."The wave of departures is a sign of internal struggle, but amidst all the bad news, there is a glimmer of hope. According to an anonymous HTC executive cited by WSJ, the crucial HTC One is selling 'pretty good so far'. The executive revealed that HTC sold about five million One units since launch, a performance that is deemed encouraging. However, sales have been limited by the persisting supply issues that still plague the production of the HTC One." Finally some good news for HTC. Five million units amidst supply constraints is very impressive.
"Sony gave the PS4 50% more raw shader performance, plain and simple (768 SPs @ 800MHz vs. 1152 SPs & 800MHz). Unlike last generation, you don't need to be some sort of Jedi to extract the PS4's potential here. The Xbox One and PS4 architectures are quite similar, Sony just has more hardware under the hood. Weâll have to wait and see how this hardware delta gets exposed in games over time, but the gap is definitely there. The funny thing about game consoles is that itâs usually the lowest common denominator that determines the bulk of the experience across all platforms. On the plus side, the Xbox One should enjoy better power/thermal characteristics compared to the PlayStation 4. Even compared to the Xbox 360 we should see improvement in many use cases thanks to modern power management techniques." AnandTech does its usual in-depth thing.

Honestly, your replay, and all other comments makes me wonder if you really ever developed ready-for-production application under .NET.
Let me give you an insight on how much my 11 month project using lastest .NET Framework was a nightmare as a developer.
The first things you have to know is that we are using entirely Microsoft products to do this job. So I use the visual studio development suite to code and visual source safe as a versionning system. Don't know if you noticed but, IIS is closely related to .NET to an extended where it doesn't do what you want anymore!
The common people will use IIS to server pages right? Now to Microsoft concept IIS has become more than that: it is not a web page server anymore, it has long became an application server. Thanks to this nice functionalty as an application server you end up with REALLY UGLY software designs:
- I want to create an new ASP/.NET project: If my projet is not located in <inetpub/wwwroot> it will failed to open a web projet! I have to manually edit the solution file.
- I want to edit one of my projet's file and this project is a web application projet: he needs a communication with IIS to open the FILE by default which take ages to open! But I just wanted to open a simple file!!!
- I want to deploy my application, deploying is made easy with web app because you only deploy on the server: great advantage. Ow gosh! Because my deployement machine ASP credential are under the NETWORK_SERVICE account and those on my development machine are handeled by ASP_NET (worker process) (this difference is due to the OS: Windows XP uses ASP_NET, windows 2003 uses NETWORK_SERVICE, my files access permissions settings are now wrong
- I want to get a web projet from VSS, I need to install it into <inetpub>/wwwroot again, even if it not this way in the VSS hierarchy: it automatically modifies the hierarchy according to your IIS configuration
- Seriously I plenty of other exemple like that: HTML mode edition not working, file permission problem with the ASP worker account when tryin to access ORACLE, etc
Microsoft has been trying too much to do a all-integrated solution.... IT'S TOO MUCH Please also distribute a heavily slimmed down version of IIS and your development environement.
