What is the default operating system for IIS 5?

Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Server 2003
Windows Vista

The correct answer is: Windows 2000

The default operating system for IIS 5 is Windows 2000. Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 was included with Windows 2000 Server and Professional editions, establishing it as the first web server that came bundled with Windows 2000. This version of IIS offered improvements over its predecessor, including new features like support for ASP.NET and enhancements to security and performance. Other options, such as Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, do not serve as the default platforms for IIS 5. IIS 5.1 is the version that came with Windows XP Professional, while Windows Server 2003 comes with IIS 6.0, which introduced further advancements in web server capabilities. Windows Vista, released later, also does not include IIS 5, as it is associated with both newer versions and separate releases of IIS. Therefore, identifying Windows 2000 as the default operating system highlights its foundational role in the development and use of IIS 5.
