ASP.NET development in Win 7

I just got a Win 7 machine at work, and am wondering if there is anyway I can use multiple website feature (IIS 6) while programming instead of using the default website all the time ?

Basically I want to treat my Win 7 box as a server box but I should have the flexibility to create websites and develop against them. Like I could be working on a version of msn.com site, and i want to access it as msn.com while development but not go to the real msn.com site.

Thanks for the help.

One way is to use the host file, add this line

127.0.0.1 msn.com

and this is probably the easiest way too unless you have some desire to turn off "development mode" and visit the real site

My recomendation is to Hyper-V and just create a virtual to play around with that has those specifications you desire.
