 Priority:  normal       |   Milestone:  2.8       
Component:  Permalinks   |     Version:  2.7       
 Severity:  normal       |    Keywords:  permalinks

 WordPress is able to determine if it is running on Apache and then it
 offers "Pretty Permalink" options and also auto-generates mod_rewrite
 rules necessary to support pretty permalinks. However, when WordPress is
 running on IIS then WordPress always uses "Almost pretty permalinks" with
 index.php in the URL.

 Now, that IIS has a built-in support for URL rewriting, it would be
 benefitical for WordPress users if WordPress offered "Pretty Permalinks"
 option when running on IIS 7.0 with url rewriter installed. Also WordPress
 can auto-generate IIS rewrite rules necessary to support "Pretty
 Permalinks". This capability will greatly simplify the permalink
 configuration task for users who host WordPress on IIS.

 I already have a patch ready for this enhancement. See attached file for
 an example how it works.

 If you decide to accept this enhancement feel free to assign bug to me to
 provide the patch.
