If you are doing asp pages in visual studio then you technicahly neeed IIS. However, I have XP Home which technichaly doesnt have IIS but I can do asp in VS 2005 but not VS 2003. I hope this helps even if it is confusing.

If you are going to code in any language that is a server language then i STRONGLY suggest that you do install a web server.
If you try to develope a server side language and have to upload every single change to a server then you are looking at hours of work when it can only be 5-10min of work on your computer.
