Web edition vs Standard Edition?

[Guest Thomas H]

Hello everyone, if cost isn't a concern, is there any reason to use Server

2k3/8 Web Edition over Server 2k3/8 Standard?

 

Thanks!

The immediate things that sticks out are that Web cannot be a DC

nor server cluster (but it can do NLB), but read Meinoff's link for
