IIS is included but turned off by default...  Microsoft has released the following

(source Eric Deily [MSFT]):

You can install IIS7 via Add/Remove Windows Components. To get there, click Start->Computer, then click on "Change or remove a program". In the explorer bar above that says ">Control Panel > Programs > Installed Programs", click the arrow after "Programs", then select "Advanced Options". Double-click on "Windows Features", and you should be able to select what you need in the "Windows Features" dialog, we're under "Internet Information Services".

Also note that there's a web relnote that should go live here shortly that will tell you how to use the package manager command line tool to install IIS7. We signed off on that relnote yesterday. For Vista Ultimate (the relnote contains instructions for how to do this on ALL client editions), you can install using the following "long" command line (run from an elevated command prompt):

start /w pkgmgr /l:log.etw /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-HttpRedirect;IIS-ApplicationDevelopment;IIS-ASPNET;IIS-NetFxExtensibility;IIS-ASP;IIS-CGI;IIS-ISAPIExtensions;IIS-ISAPIFilter;IIS-ServerSideIncludes;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-HttpTracing;IIS-CustomLogging;IIS-ODBCLogging;IIS-Security;IIS-BasicAuthentication;IIS-WindowsAuthentication;IIS-DigestAuthentication;IIS-ClientCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-IISCertificateMappingAuthentication;IIS-URLAuthorization;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-IPSecurity;IIS-Performance;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;IIS-ManagementScriptingTools;IIS-ManagementService;IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility;IIS-Metabase;IIS-WMICompatibility;IIS-LegacyScripts;IIS-LegacySnapIn;IIS-FTPPublishingService;IIS-FTPServer;IIS-FTPManagement;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI

The above instructions will install IIS7 but ASP.NET wont be registered....  You need to run aspnet_regiis - i, and then you will have to manually create a temp directory at \Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\temp\

(Juan Llibre on the vista forums, reported not being able to run the aspnet_regiis...  I had no trouble, but did it installed as the local administrator, from the same elevated command prompt I used to install IIS...  He also commented that the Network Service didnt have rights to the new temp folder and he had to grant them explicitly...  I didnt have that problem either...)

Also take note...  The ASPNET build for 5308 is 2.0.50727.62 where the released version of ASPNET is 2.0.50727.42...  I am not sure what this might mean to SQL 2005, WIN FX or general VS 2005 yet, but I will hope nothing =)
