Windows Server 2003 will be a great deal more difficult to set up due to the
increased security. However, if you're doing a web application, I agree that
it would be better to develop on the Windows Server 2003 platform, as your
app will have to deal with these security issues as well. As for IIS 6.0, it
will be better for the app when deployed, but not much different at design
time.

Not sure if this is the right group for this question, but it's kind a
hybrid, so here goes. Our production environment is moving to Windows
2003.
Presently, we have Windows 2000 server in production and all developers
desktops have Windows 2000 as well. This works well because we can on our
desktops using the same environment as production. Now, we are moving to
Windows 2003 on production and developers will be using Visual Studio
2005.
My question is this: What is the best OS for a developer. I have heard
that
people have had issues with Windows 2003 server on the desktop, so this
would
lead me to believe we should use XP Pro. However, I think XP Pro has IIS
5.0
and Windows 2003 has IIS 6.0. Ideally, it would be great if developers
could
have the same level of IIS as production. What are other people using?
Since most of our applications are web applications it seems important to
have the same version of iis on our development machines. Thanks in
advance
for your help.
