Version: Abyss Web Server X1 2.6
"Nice, lightweight, and robust"
Pros: Using it for Web development and it has exactly what I need: worked out of the box, supports SSI, custom mime types, minimizes to tray, works seamlessly across system sleeps/wakeups, and uses less than 1M of RAM.
Cons: Not a one so far.
Summary: Pretty sure will be using it 5 years down the road.

Version: Abyss Web Server X1 2.6
Pros: I have professionally used various flavors of IIS since its inception and was generally very satisfied. OS's were Windows Server and/or XP. Now that I am retired, I moved to Vista Home Basic on my new laptop, It runs like a charm.
Cons: No negative experience. I needed a webserver that would run on Vista Home Basic and supports Dot Net, and found Abyss. It is easy to set up and maintain and runs like a charm. I am running Dot Net with a back-end databases Access and SQL Server.
Summary: Highly recommended!

Cons: None...it s simply awesome.
Summary: i think it is the best of its kind and it is extremely easy to use it. Thanks to all developers of this great software.

"Perhaps, I am an idiot; but it did not work with me."
Pros: None, except tons of instructions about howto
Cons: No way to get my website created. I wonder that after 1 mn ++ downloads, I am the first to review. Did all downloads go to the recycle bins?
Summary: I filled up the setting up form with Name and Password as requested. I wrote a "Hello world" in HTML, saved the file as requested, entered my http:// address in the browser, as requested, hoping to see my new born site. But, at that stage, a cryptic... read more >>
