In any case, a default install of Apache lets you drop your files in the folder and they get served. Advanced configuration isn’t always necessary, especially for simple home stuff.
And just the fact that MS went out of its way to let home users host sites on their computers scary. The decision was dumb and dangerous with no thought to security, an especially “silly idea.” Kinda reminds me of Outlook.
And remember to remove the tin foil hat before you respond again.
Now you’re asking these “people running it from home, which likely means they really don’t know what they’re doing” as you called them, to have to download some 3rd party freeware from who knows where, install and configure it, just to get a basic GUI? This is making it easier you say?
