As usual with the Microsoft of lagging behind the rat-race ( oops…the internet-race!!), they have released the much awaited module for URL Rewriting for IIS 7.
I have been using Apache’s mod_rewrite for past so many years and that was among one of the numerous features of “The Mighty Open source” webserver a.k.a Apache, that put the IIS to shame.
But i guess Microsoft is learning it’s lessons slowly.
Here’s the Walkthrough to create and test a set of rewrite rules for the URL rewrite module.
And guess what? IIS7′s URLrewrite module comes bundled with the functionality of importing Apache mod_rewrite Rules!
Now thats something a great news for cross platform web developers like me. I couldn’t have been happier! 
It seems Microsoft is trying to win over the faith and support of open source community! 
Whatever their intentions may be, keep up the good work Microsoft and we all soon might start saying:
“i’m loving it…!!”
