The document discusses 7 ways for developers to enhance their applications on Windows Server 2008, including building more flexible web applications using the new features of IIS 7, designing applications that are highly manageable using Windows PowerShell and MMC 3.0, developing federation-aware applications with Active Directory Federation Services, and building connected systems using Windows Communication Foundation and MSMQ 4.0. Part 1 focuses on IIS7 and PowerShell while Part 2 will discuss additional topics like WER, restart APIs, and transactions.
