IIS

Why would a user want IIS loaded on their PC? They use
FrontPage to publish/modify their specific site on our
internet. Does IIS give them the ability to run a web
site from their PC or what? I don't know if this person
really needs it or not.

IIS on the development PC provides the same environment and functionality
that will exist on the live site, including run-time support for FrontPage
components requirring server extensions, ASP, etc. If the site being
developed doesn't use any of the server functionality, it isn't necessary to
use it locally.

The user is making several changes to a database and
wants to see how the content pages will look after each
change is made. Would you say this requires IIS to be
loadedon his laptop?

IIS will help me because I don't want to do development testing on an actual
external web server. If I do testing on my 'production' server I must
remember to copy all changes back to my local PC. it gets messy!
