ASP Offline Anyone?

Okay, so I wanna test ASP scripts offline.
Personal Web Server (PWS) was a free download for Win95/98. IIS (Internet Information Server) is built into Win2K and XP Pro.
IIS doesn't come with XP Home though, and PWS doesn't work on XP. Microsoft recommend buying XP Pro (big shock), but what about you lot?

XP Pro, 98, 2k or one of the MS servers. Thats about all the choices you have since you are doing ASP.

Isn't there a product similar to PWS out and about there then?

I am not aware of one that does ASP. For just HTML there are many options, such as Apache.

There is one other option. Sun bought up Chilisoft, and you can now run ASP under Apache using their software. Take a look:
