Today Microsoft released the technical Developer Preview bits of its latest operating system "Windows 8" ... Though windows 8 is being show cased as the next generation tablet OS ... I had to install IIS as the 1st thing I did after "windows 8" install.
Short Story: There is no real difference in the install experience from that of IIS 7...
Long Story: You will still need to install IIS 8 from "Turn Windows Features on\off", however the way you reach there is slightly different now...
The first noticeable difference you will find after you install IIS on Windows 8 TP is the localhost start page ... For all of you who haven't check it out yet ... here it is ...
Will be posting a lot more once I am through configuring "IIS 8" ...
Note: Check out how HTML 5, PHP and ASP.Net are included in number "8" ... Need I say more about Microsoft's commitment towards PHP and HTML 5 ??
Next Steps ... Going to Run PHP :-)

- Once you are on the Home Screen (The new Metro UI coolness that you see everywhere) click on Control Panel
- This will take you to a new control panel page (which looks simple and cool by the way) ... Once at this page go to the last option that says "More Settings"
- This will get you to the familiar Windows 7 control panel settings page from wherein you will go to Programs --> Turn windows features on\off --> Internet Information Services --> Select --> leave Default and say ok
- That's it... once the result displayed is success ... go to IE and browse localhost ...
