It's a web server, IIS is Microsofts version. You can install it as an add-on, when you do add/remove Windows components. Even on a desktop OS like WinXP.
You add websites, and...you (or others) can view them.

FYI. IIS - Internet Information Server
No one has any right to force data on you
and command you to believe it or else.
If it is not true for you, it isn't true.
