So that you can have 1 CF project per CF instance.

Each instance can have their own webserver and CFAdmin settings (i.e. data source, mapping, etc.)

Very useful especially when you work on multiple projects. (e.g. SiteA.dev maps to CF instance A, and SiteB.dev maps to CF Instance B)

Note: only available in Developer / Enterprise edition, not Standard.

If you're using Win 7 Pro, use IIS. Otherwise, use Apache with virtual hostings (vhost.conf) to support multiple sites on your development machine.
