I am setting up my ASP.NET 2.0 development environment. I have a hard time
picking between Windows XP Pro vs Windows Server 2003 since I am not sure of
all the pros and cons that come with each OS. And if Windows Server 2003 is
better, which edition then? Web edition, enterprise edition, etc...
Please share with me your OS choice for ASP.NET 2.0 development and the
reasons behind it? Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Ethan,
XP Pro is just fine.
For a developer, having a machine with lots of RAM and a good processor is
more important than the expensive server OS.

Thanks for replying Ken.
In my case, since I have an MSDN subscription, I can use either. I am
leaning toward Windows Server 2003 because that is more closely resemble
production environment. Given a choice you would still choose Win XP Pro?
Thanks.

re: Given a choice you would still choose Win XP Pro?
Definitely not.
Just the fact that you have to go through contortions to work on more than
one website at a time in XP should be enough to steer clear of it, if the choice
to work with W2K3 is available.
Add to that the different ASP.NET accounts
(NETWORK SERVICE vs. Machinename\ASPNET)
....and you have a couple of very strong reasons to use W2K3.

Hi Ethan,
Server 2003 would be fine for development. Although I use XP at home, I used
Server on a contract with no issues. If you've got it free, go with the Web
server SKU.
