If you're moving an older app from IIS6 (which by definition was only "classic" mode) to IIS 8, the best near-term decision is to run in Classic Mode on IIS8. Classic Mode is fully supported so you aren’t doing anything wrong by running in classic mode. It's a mode that is there for a reason. Think about your reasons and make an educated decision. Some good tips in the comments, too.

We still have a (soon to be retired) server running IIS 5.

Well could always throw it into a Virtual Machine if you're that upset.
I still use classic ASP on a Jornada 720 - nice to relax with in a comfy chair.

That's what machines are for.
Got a problem?

That is the plan... they are replacing it with a VM.

Is it really being retired if you're just shifting the suckage to a new location?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not sure how the move is going to happen. They may just copy files over to a fresh VM, which would be nice. That would upgrade IIS, and it would increase the free space (we frequently have issues because space runs out). Also, being part of a VM would be nice, because we can upgrade it at any time without too much hassle with hardware.
