XP Pro comes with IIS 5, however it has the NT 5.1 DLL's behind it, instead of the NT5 (Win2K) DLL's.

ASP will still work fine, just that all the COM objects and such that you have to create will have to be compiled on a 2K box for them to run on a Win2K server because the DLL entry points and DLL enumerations change from version to version. We had this issue with NT4 deployments and Win2K servers, not to mention that we even make sure everyone has the same SP levels and hotfixes!

It's a crazy crazy thing.
