Web Hosting Vista - ISS 7?
Please forgive me if I don't answer your question directly; It may be just my opinion, but IIS in general and IIS 7 in particular are quite convoluted, clumsy and insecure products.
I have no pre-concieved bias against Microsoft products, but I've worked with companies that used IIS in production systems. Despite all warnings they got hosed badly when security holes were discovered and exploited.
Vista access-control annoyances make things even worse, without solving any real problems.
As an alternative, I suggest considering XAMPP, which is user-friendly bundle of Apache and other goodies, that takes care of most installation and configuration issues. Also, setting virtual servers for Apache is well-documented and established procedure.
