Does anyone have any information on these IIS reports? As far as I can tell, they were removed prior to April 2009, and there has been no mention of them since. Yet many pages on iis.net still remain that refer to a non-existent product. Has MS abandoned these reports, or are my search skills failing me?

The IIS News Item Feed is a pretty good start:

http://blogs.iis.net/tags/IIS+News+Item/default.aspx

That has all of the blog posts that are flagged as news items written by the IIS team.

Otherwise, I would monitor these other blogs:
Bill Staples - http://blogs.iis.net/bills/default.aspx
CarlosAg's - http://blogs.msdn.com/carlosag/default.aspx
Mai-Lan's - http://blogs.iis.net/mailant/

ahh ok - good to see that was mentioned somewhere. :-\ is there a blog somewhere that is to IIS what Scott Gu's blog is to ASP.NET MVC - i.e. has regular DETAILED updates and is THE OFFICIAL source of all IIS goings-on?

IIS Reports was removed from the IIS 7.0 Administration Pack 1.0 release. We are currently investigating how/when/if we will ship the IIS Reports module.

Sorry for the confusion.

found the problem, i originally installed the admin pack using the Web Deployment Tool - RC1. if i downloaded the admin pack myself and installed it, the the installer added the icon. fail. wtf? i was actually beginning to wonder if IIS Reports was no longer included in the admin pack since it never gets mentioned on this site when referring to the admin pack. someone, please sort this out.
