Web View for folders in Server 2003 gone

Has anyone noticed that in Server 2003 you no longer have an option of "Web
View" in the contents side of Explorer? I loved this because I could get the
graph of disk usage for a quick idea of disk space on my servers. I thought
maybe this had to do with IIS being installed or not. Even my web server
does not have this option. I have hunted and hunted and can find no
reference to tell me if this is even a feature that was removed for some
reason.

Anyone have more info on this?

Also: Microsoft - add specific news groups for Server 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft removed Web View starting with Windows XP. They realized it didn't work as described and so rather than get it to work they removed it. One of the issues is that it is IE dependent. And since IE 6 sux that were battling a losing cause realized it and so "Poof!" gone.
