Well, I certainly can't argue with the last bit - yes if you want IIS you should check you're buying it! That said, I don't want to run a web server but I do want to build an ASP site on my home PC. Therefore, I "require" a home edition of a PC O/S and also "require" some way of emulating a web server.
So it *is* MS deciding they know best!
As for the "only placing what is required into relevant editions of a product", that raises something of a wry grin, given the vast amounts of crep that gets stuffed into Micros**t products like Windows, Office, et al, that demand ever-bigger hard drives and ever-more memory for no obvious benefit. Just think about the dozens of Office "features" that the vast majority of users will never use - if they even discover they exist!
