Different versions of IIS on Different Windows versions?

On Win XP I installed IIS from ControlPanel,... and it's version is 5.1 So my question is what does this version mean? Does it go to 6.0 for example with Windows Vista OR is it related to the version of .NET Framework and ASP.net that I install? and as default does an IIS 6.0 version mean it is a Win Vista?

From my knowledge each Windows version comes with an included IIS version which you're generally stuck with (possible updates may come down from Windows Update, but I wouldn't expect any in general).

So from my experience whichever version of IIS you get when you install the component is the one you're stuck with - ie. you can't upgrade to IIS 6 if you're using Windows XP. I'm using Windows XP and I'm stuck with v5.1 also. (It's not related to your .NET version).

As for which versions of IIS for which Windows version, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Information_Services#Versions
