Which version of Windows Server 2003 is best for .NET development?

I have an MSDN subscription, and have all versions of Windows Server 2003
available.
I have been programming in Visual Studio .NET 2002 in Windows XP and 2000,
and I am setting up a new machine with .NET 2003 for new projects.
My question is, which version of Windows Server 2003 (Standard, Enterprise,
Web) is best for .NET development? I am only using the computer for
development, I won't be running any of my applications from it.

Thanks for your help, and yes, I have already Googled for this question and
not found it.

Hi,

I would use Standard. Web Edition is only a webserver, and the main
difference between Enterprise and Standard is that Enterprise can handle
more resources.

Chris,

Windows Server 2003 Standard should work just fine for a development
environment. I'm currently using it with no major problems although you do
need to understand the differences between Windows 2000 Server and Windows
Server 2003, especially where COM+ is involved.

Best regards,

Jeff Lynch

Are there any known issues with developing ASP.NET web applications directly on Windows 2003 Server running VS.NET 2003 Pro, SQL Server client tools, and using VSS for source control? Essentially using W2003 Server as a desktop with the exception of leveraging IIS 6.0. Thanks in advance. Mark

Hi everyone, which compiler will Python 2.5 on Windows (Intel) be built with?

However, even before the release of Python 2.5, I cannot seem to find many retailers around here that still carry Visual Studio 2003, and some were a...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
