Ok, here's how this works.
IIS natively supports nothing other than serving static files and execute
add-ons. This applies to all IIS versions.
Ability to use dynamic scripting frameworks like ASP, ASP.Net, PHP, JSP,
Perl, etc are all add-ons as far as IIS is concerned.
Windows Server 2003 bundles the ASP and ASP.Net add-ons configured by
default. Of course, you can download and install any other add-ons to extend
IIS functionality, including JSP using Tomcat or PHP.
FYI: Just about all other web servers behave in exactly the same way as IIS
in these regards. Except for the web servers written in Java because they
can of course "natively" run JSP, which is basically Java. Servers not
written in Java cannot run JSP without loading a JVM to do so, and that is
what the add-ons basically give to those webservers. Thus, it would never
make sense for IIS to ever "directly" support JSP because it implies a JVM
dependency.

Thanks for your quick reply. One follow-up question, does IIS 6.0 directly
support the use of .jsp or do I still need the 3rd-party add-on?
