And that in Longhorn without all the bloat of Vista, DRM crap etc - why the heck would I want to upgrade my dev PC with slower OS that gives me absolutely nothing new? Direct X 10 was the only thing that was theoretically very tempting, however they royally screwed that up too.

Originally posted by AtW View PostI would not use Microsoft "server" OS at all - it's just too expensive. I use Windows XP Pro 64-bit, which happens to be effectively a cut down build of Windows Server 2003, but the price is very cheap: I'd say Windows XP on my dev box is worth the money because of all backwards compatibility, but if I use server for fairly new apps I don't need all that so server markup is suddenly very expensive, if anything server versions should have been cheaper than desktop builds.Last edited by Cliphead; 18 March 2008, 20:54.Comment
