Aha.

I have been told that the *most* common reason for finding IIS on
a non-server install of NT or W2K is that although IIS is *NOT* installed
by default on non-server boxes, it *IS* installed if you are upgrading
and it finds traces of 'Personal Web Server'.

Would that explain what you're seeing?
