Where are LogFiles for IIS 7?

Last Thursday I was dealing with a web app that wouldn't work on a computer running Vista. I needed to check the IIS log file, so I went where I always go -- to

C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles. But there was no LogFiles folder. There was HTTPERR, and some unfamiliar folders, but no LogFiles.

Turns out that for IIS7, log files don't live there any more. They have moved to C:\Inetpub\LogFiles.

I didn't check my 2008 Server, but I suppose that will be true for IIS version 7 there, also.
