So like most Microsoft products, the default configuration is the most conservative option. I'm OK with it being off by default, but it really surprises me that you have to drop into scripts to change a fundamental setting like the included extensions. I wonder how many servers have compression enabled but are still serving up uncompressed JS and CSS because the extensions aren't included by default...
