documents, microsoft, fonts, calibri
For those of you whom don't know what "Calibri" is...it's a font face.
See the screenshot below :

So this font was released by Microsoft with Vista and Office2007. I'm not sure if they created it, or how it works, but I'm assuming that all ".ttf" fonts in the Windows system belongs to MS.
Anyways...it's just so beautiful.
Since I've started using this font in my emails, project documents, etc... my clients have been telling me how professional my work looks. (especially the proejct specifications documents.)
It's such a pleasure to work with Calibri.
Try it out, you'll love it!

This article/tutorial will show you how to install an IIS7 web server on your Vista operating system in order to start running web pages locally through this web server.
Start off by opening your Control Panel, and then go to "Programs" where you'll click "Turn Windows features on or off". A new window will open and it might take a while for it to load content. Please see the screenshot below.

You'll see a caption named "Internet Information Services". You'll need to expand all it's sub-categories and sub-subs and check all those checkboxes. Off course you only have to check the ones you'll actually be using, but I checked them all since I use just about all of the services.
Then click "Ok" in order for the installation to start. The installation might take a while though, so please be patient while it installs IIS7.
Once the installation is done, restart your computer.
After rebooting your computer, open up your browser and type "http://localhost" where you'll se a page displaying some IIS7 details/information. This simply shows you that the server is running fine.
Your server document root will be "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" by default, though you can change this in the IIS configuration settings in your Control Panel.
That's it. You have IIS7 installed on your computer.
I'll soon write an article about installing PHP and MySQL on IIS7 on Vista.
