What is ISAPI Rewrite, and can/should this be used with asp.net 4.0 instead of MS's ISS Rewrite?

I've been told by people that Microsoft's IIS Rewrite 2.0 for use on my II7 is okay, but that ISAPI Rewrite "is way better and it's what good developers use". As I went to the website, I noticed things about .htaccess and such, and it struck me as more of a thing for php websites, since I'm on a Windows server and .htaccess doesn't apply to me.

My company's website is Visual Studio / vb / asp.net 4.0 / windows server

Can I use this ISAPI Rewrite, and would you recommend it for making the most friendly URLs? Thanks for any guidance you can offer!

I believe both are really the same thing, IIS Rewrite module being written by Microsoft and free. Both will allow you to rewrite your URLs and it depends on you to come up with most friendly ones ;-)
