With Reporting Services, for example, now you don&#8217;t need IIS. That&#8217;s a big thing because IIS is kind of a pain in the neck to deal with and it&#8217;s a security risk. It also meant more maintenance and management and more things breaking down. By getting rid of IIS and having everything done natively, things can be a lot easier to manage, are more efficient and more secure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Interview<\/h2>\n<p>Read the rest of the interview and let me know what you think.
