HTTP.SYS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Stack) is the kernel level components of IIS. All client request comes from client hit the HTTP.Sys of Kernel level. HTTP.SYS then makes a queue for each and every request for each and individual application pool based on the request.
Whenever we create any application pool IIS automatically registers the pool with HTTP.SYS to identify the particular during request processing.
WAS(Windows Activation Service) is a new feature of IIS, that allows all the features of the Windows Communication Framework stack, like non-HTTP channels and other stuff.
IIS is the web server that hosts the services that are activated via WAS.
WAS - is the new process activation mechanism that ships with IIS 7.0. WAS builds on the existing IIS 6.0 but is more powerful because it provides support for other protocols besides HTTP, such as TCP and Named Pipes.

Recently I had a situation with Visual Studio 2010 where menu items where duplicated like 3-4 times. Looks like some configuration file was corrupted. I have tried to restore current settings and setup new settings but none worked out.
To resolve this I ran the following from command line
devenv.exe /safemode /setup
Once this ran, I restarted Visual Studio I could able to see Visual studio with default factory settings.
PS: If you have any personal settings done before you have to redo those settings again.
