Which IIS version defaults are used in Windows 8?

  1. IIS 8

  2. IIS 7

  3. IIS 6

  4. IIS 10

The correct answer is: IIS 8

IIS 8 is the correct answer because it is the version of Internet Information Services (IIS) that comes pre-installed and enabled by default with the Windows 8 operating system. Released alongside Windows 8 in 2012, IIS 8 introduced several new features and improvements over previous versions, such as enhanced support for web applications, improved performance, and new management tools designed to simplify the administration of web servers. The other versions listed are not defaults for Windows 8. IIS 7 was the default for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, while IIS 6 was used with Windows Server 2003. IIS 10, on the other hand, is associated with Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 and would not be relevant when discussing the defaults for Windows 8. Thus, in the context of the question regarding default settings for Windows 8, IIS 8 is indeed the appropriate version.
