 Hi,

 I have been using WP and WPMU with IIS6 and compatibility with mod_rewrite
 for years. No problem.

 Also have been testing out laterst beta1 and today I decided to make a
 clean install of nightly build of the code.

 This are the issues I discovered, divided in three section:


 1. - Single Site

 After installing I realized that in the permalinks section I'm forced to
 use /index.php whick is hardcoded. dd32 explained in the list that this is
 because I'm not runing IIS7 or Apache. I had to add a filter to remove it.
 I think most of all this is wrong to force index.php on anybody and this
 should be removed. I would have to add the filter in all themes for
 example and there are stil many using IIS6 with some mod_rewrite
 compatible software.
