Using my MSDN Licenses

I've got Expression working now, a bit unfamiliar, but I'm sure Web will be a better WYSIWYG designer than VS. Has anyone here made the transition, and what was it like? I'm running XP on essentially a Vista machine. Is it worth my while to upgrade to Windows Server 2008? I would like some server features like multiple web sites. Upgrading to SQL Server 2008 is a no brainer. What is Windows Web Server? 2008 without real server stuff?

AFAIK, Windows Web Server does not support Exchange, the Domain Controller and some other stuff like that. The licensing is also based on the fact that the machine is used by an unknown number of anonymous users.

I don't need Exchange or the DC. Might be worth a look, but I don't want a whole re-install the same day I leave for a big project. :~

2008 Web is specifically for web servers. No extra fluff.

It's Windows it's cheaper to make a whole new edition for our data center than to manually turn the unused features off or have them consuming idle clocks edition and as a bonus we now have a new SKU to sell people edition. :rolleyes:
