I am new to .NET so please excuse any dumb questions.

As far as I understand IIS 5 (2k server) does not support ASP.NET. If I own .NET and install it on my laptop for development purposes is it illegal to install the IIS portion of it on the server? IIS used to be free but I don't know anymore.

Who has tried C#? I haven't heard too much about it but that's because I haven't really looked lately. Is it a large learning curve for an ASP/VB developer?

Thanks for any help.

One more thing, Wrox makes the best references.... Right?
