does the friendly URL work on IIS or using the mod rewrite for apache ONLY?

and what forum integration (what is this forum?) is available?

But this forum is Drupal's own. With a few modules (subscription, privatemsg, advnaced_forum) I'd put it up against anything out there; particularly once you understand the flexibility of Drupal's node structure.

There is an alternative forum fro Drupal - uieforum - which you can look at if you want.

Alternatively, there is a good module to bridge to phpBB and I believe an SMF one as well.

However, as far as I can tell none of the major forums on the market supports threaded view properly anymore - this may have gone out of fashion but I still consider it vital to follow a conversation properly - and this one does. Give it a try!

since 2008, Microsoft provides its own native module free of cost, so, no more depending on poorly-supported, commercial 3rd party ISAPI filters for this functionality.

You can even use existing or example Apache mod_rewrite rules, via an import procedure. And the native rule syntax isn't THAT different.

yeah but that requires IIS7, which even win2003 doesnt have

Well, I did say "since 2008", and you didn't say what version. You might have gathered from my posts that there are other 3rd party URL rewriting ISAPI filters for older versions of IIS. They are called Iconics, OpUrl, Helicon, Micronovae and there's an open-source one called ".NET URL Rewriter"

So, plenty of options and the answer to your question is a big yes indeed, iis is furl friendly.
