The Microsoft Web Platform Installer (Web PI) is available from Microsoft's Web Application Gallery, and includes a Drupal installer. Use this installer to install and configure Drupal for use with the Windows/IIS/MySQL/PHP stack (note: MySQL 5.0 is not included in the package and must be installed separately.)

I installed today's version of the Windows installer, and for some reason, even though the stack was "off", the Xmail service was running and, apparently (I am not sure) consuming over 30% of my CPU for an hour or so.
I could not determine if this was some sort of external attack, so I just want to ask if the Stack installer has some sort of security measures for it so that only localhost can use it (and it has some "obscure" port number to try to make it harder for other apps to take advantage of it)?

Why the Acquia Drupal Stack is now the Drupal development stack of
choice.
Drupal On-ramp - Personal experiences at Drupal events
in recent months and reports from friends and colleagues indicate that
the Acquia Drupal Stack Installer is really changing the installation
experience for new users. This incredibly fast, painless on-ramp
experience - it lets you get right into "Drupalling" without fighting
with ports, permissions, or database connections - is winning over new
users at Drupal Camps around the world. Read full article

I read on the release notes that you can now setup different code bases using the stack installer with an import button in the sites tab of the control panel...
* You can use the stack installer's control panel to manage other Drupal codebases such as Drupal 7 or Drupal 6. To do so, open the control panel, click Settings, select the Sites tab, and click Import. (AN-7893)
I installed the latest version and can't find it there.
With all of the buzz encircling Acquia lately, we thought it prudent to share a review with our readers since we’ve never truly delved in to see what Acquia’s rendition of Drupal is made of.
For those of you unfamiliar with Acquia, we recommend you watch the following video that we shared previously that is an introduction to the product: Acquia Introduction
We released the Acquia Drupal Stack Installer earlier this month and have had an overwhelmingly positive response. Thousands people have downloaded it to set up a Drupal site in a few clicks.
We're planning to release the Installer for more platforms and also add new functionality.
I downloaded acquia-drupal-osx-1.2.4-4554.4550.dmg, mounted it and clicked on the stack. It asked for my password and nothing else happened in 30 minutes. Rebooted, repeated, again nothing. I am running a Power PC Mac on OSX 10.5.6.
Only Safari is running and the CPU is basically idling.
¿Any idea?
