Lyceum is built off wordpress not wpmu (although I'm sure John and others will always pay attention to mu).  For more info, please see:

Q: What is the difference between Lyceum and WordPress MU?

The main difference between Lyceum and MU is the database schema. MU creates a set of tables for each blog in a system. Lyceum uses a fixed number of tables for the entire system. More info here.

In WordPress MU, every user must have a blog. In Lyceum, users and blogs are completely unrelated entities. Each blog can have arbitrary users, each with arbitrary permissions, and it is possible for a user to have no permissions on no blogs (this makes sense because a blog administrator may choose to only allow comments from users who are registered on the system).

In Lyceum, each blog can turn (pre-aproved, admin-installed) plugins on and off as they like.

We've also made a smattering of security and performance improvements to WordPress (some of which may or may not be applicable to the MU architecture).

Lyceum is built off of the Wordpress MU system I believe, so any inherant requirements or features from Wordpress MU will most likely be in the lyceum release.

Any other IIS users on the list have any help for Chris?
