1: Web Socket Protocol Support:
IIS 7.5, IIS 7.0 and previous versions were NOT supported;
IIS 8.0 Support Web Socket Protocol;
Windows Server 2012 required because IIS 8.0 is ONLY available in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8
IIS 8.0 Express can be installed in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, but we can NOT give IIS 8.0 Express to customers; we can use IIS 8.0 Express as development environment though;
.NET 4.5 Frameworks required;
