Hi Now i am using 2000 server for development, is it logical to install xp pro, if not what are disadvantages?(i know iis 5.1 is installed on xp and it allows one site) I am sure there are guys using xp here, any ideas? Alper
There's no real problem with it unless you need something that the server can provide. I'm running XP Pro right now and IIS works just fine for me. When I'm done with a project, I upload it to the server and it works. However, if you do need the capabilities of a server, you may want to sign up for the .NET Server betas or just wait until the RTM version comes out.
I don't know whether it's just the light but I swear the database server gives me dirty looks everytime I wander past. -Chris Maunder Microsoft has reinvented the wheel, this time they made it round. -Peterchen on VS.NET
