 Hi,

 I have been using WP and WPMU with IIS6 and compatibility with mod_rewrite
 for years. No problem.

 Also have been testing out laterst beta1 and today I decided to make a
 clean install of nightly build of the code.

 This are the issues I discovered, divided in three section:


 1. - Single Site

 After installing I realized that in the permalinks section I'm forced to
 use /index.php whick is hardcoded. dd32 explained in the list that this is
 because I'm not runing IIS7 or Apache. I had to add a filter to remove it.
 I think most of all this is wrong to force index.php on anybody and this
 should be removed. I would have to add the filter in all themes for
 example and there are stil many using IIS6 with some mod_rewrite
 compatible software.

 2. - Single Site

 I also noticed immidiately, that the wite is stripped with "www", which is
 not that case with 2.9.2 . I don't see why this is done in  asible site
 install at all? I think it is a bug in the single site install.

 www.site1.com --> site1.com  Work, but should not happen in single site
 mode.

 3. - Multi Site

 After that I installed the network to see what is happening there.
 Immidiately I see that after setting up new htaccess rules and adding a
 few lines to config, as I should, and I know how to do, the www is not
 stripped but gives an 404-error in the browser.

 site1.com  works!

 www.site1.com --> 404-error in the browser. Something is broken. I see in
 chrome that it redirects me to http://site1.com/wp-signup.php?new=www
 which gives this 404 error.

 I go further creating a site (a new blog), testblog, and even here I see a
 error:

 testblog.site1.com  works
 www.testblog.site1.com --> This should be stripp with www at least, but
 instead taking me to the signup-page with "www.testblog" as a new blog
 suggestion.

 So I see something happened the last days, since an install was working
 just fine, just like current WPMU 2.9.2, but something has changed the
 whole setup suddenly.
