Guest Roger Stenson Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Hi all Given that this version of the 2003 server is getting reasonably visible on the Microsoft site, I was disappointed to read that it was seen purely as a server. I hoped it would run Windows Media Center, I would really like a one machine solution to deal with all my business whilst away. It would be nice to ask this program to do all my TV recording without leaving a Desktop running. Also it seems a server rather than client role to service XBOX machines. .. I would be grateful to hear if it would run XP Media Server, or perhaps as a compromise,, would run side by side under Virtual Machine with a Vista Home Premium system that could do this work Roger Stenson
Guest Ryan Hanisco Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 RE: Windows Server 2003 - Home Server If you are looking for the best blend of the two, look to Vista Ultimate... I will tell you that it is not usually a good idea to ever blend business and pleasure, even in computers -- for both the stability and the tax purposes. -- Ryan Hanisco MCSE, MCTS: SQL 2005, Project+ Chicago, IL Remember: Marking helpful answers helps everyone find the info they need quickly.
