the 2003 webserver does not need licenses for people accesing the
hosted websites, so no limitation there whatever, what would be the
point then of purchasing such an OS?
are your datafiles on a separate partition?
"ye, offcourse", if you're a serious webdesigner,
"no" if you're a home user just trying things out without knowing what
he is doing
so YES, your datafiles will still be there (if you are indeed a serious
webdesigner ^^ )
you'll just have to add the site's location in the IIS wizard
if you're not sure about the consequences the I suggest you use a
multiboot setup
that way you could still go back to the way it was
for the most applications, Win2K3 is equal to WinXP,
although for instance SQL server will only work when MSSQL-SP3 is
deployed,
Exchange 2K will not work at all
some antivirus products and firewall products will not work
most games have problems with Win2K3
I've also had problems myself with video editing progs and DVD
authoring aswell
but...
you don't use your server for anything else offcourse since you are
running a service to the outside world on this machine in serious
fashion meaning it will need all resources for just that, right? B-)
pointer: use the wizards for the config of services if you are anything
else but an MCSE :')
it'll make everything go much smoother, you can always change little
things afterwards
