Isn't it w3wp.exe?

As an aside, I'm going to have to move to vista on my work pc to use IIS7. Fun fun fun. It only takes about two days to install everything.

Yep - W3WP.EXE, on both Vista and Server 2008.

Indeed it is still w3wp.exe - You'll need to check the 'Show processes in all sessions' option to get it to show up though.
