    most people that have a problem with vista its cos they have crappy hardware, and were trying to run vista on an XP designed machine

    @TheMatt7000

    Stop being a scrub. Vista is too much of a resource hog, and crashes constantly.

    im liking Server 2008. im currently taking some Network classes in college. started out using Server 2003. but now using the Server 2008 and I think that it’s much easier to use and understand

    @chrisphp

    haha, yes you are right man 266Mhz is pushing it… lol shes my baby tho lol,

    i will defo try “Windows server 2012 on it see what happens lol

    well shes my file server i dont need any more power she does want i want ! ahh and yours is 2.8Ghz ? kk never mind ! lol

  12. chrisphp 22 May 2010 at 6:48 am #

    @xMandalorex

    Yeah, 266Mhz is a bit of a push…

    Its still not really vista demands though,
    If your trying to run 2008 on 266Mhz its going to push the cpu
    through the roof.

    Mine runs idle at 0% – 5% (P4 @ 2.8Ghz)

  13. xMandalorex 22 May 2010 at 7:29 am #

    @chrisphp

    nah

    then again i dont know your systems “specs”

    my server is a 12 year old pentium 2 @ 266Mhz with 768MB ram, has windows server 2003 on it and it breaths

    tried server 2008 and the cpu was just 70 to 100% all the time it does have “vista” demands … you need to do some re-search because im talking about the cpu not the ram lol

  14. chrisphp 22 May 2010 at 7:29 am #

    2008 doesn’t really have vista’s demands… Considering it runs as smooth as 2003 on my 512MB ram NAS servers.

  15. TheMatt7000 22 May 2010 at 7:47 am #

    I agree there is nothing wrong with Vista!!!

    Just tell me one thing that is wrong with visa! anyone!?!?

  28. xHoTxStrika 22 May 2010 at 3:46 pm #

    @sayhotdog
    Xbox 360 uses the triple-core IBM designed Xenon as its CPU

  29. ins0mniakds 22 May 2010 at 4:46 pm #

    So basically VMWare ESX but by Microsoft for Server 2008…

  30. therats2270 22 May 2010 at 5:36 pm #

  34. LeoNatan25 22 May 2010 at 7:46 pm #

    What do you mean “free website”? One of the roles the Windows 2008 servers can take is web servers, but they are far from free. If you want to create a website for educational purposes, you can use the IIS already available in the regular Windows versions (like XP, Vista, 7, etc). If you are looking for something more serious, but still free, I suggest alternatives like Apache (but much harder to manage for the newbie user).

    Pardon me sir :D

    That comment is so old that I don’t even remember if I wrote the release of Windows NT 4.0 Server or if it’s just a typo.

    But You are indeed right, it was the old days of Windows NT 3.1 Advanced Server… So old I wasn’t even born!

  36. LeoNatan25 22 May 2010 at 9:35 pm #

    Shows how little you know about the server operating systems.

  37. LeoNatan25 22 May 2010 at 10:26 pm #

    It works in Windows Server 2008 R1, but starting with WS2008 R2, Microsoft is only releasing 64bit versions of the Server line. Time to move with the times. ;)

  38. LeoNatan25 22 May 2010 at 11:23 pm #

    Actually, Windows Sever exists from 1993, in the form of Windows NT Advanced Server. :)

  39. cjsalda 22 May 2010 at 11:45 pm #

    still having issue with vmware . high cpu usage on idle time.
    will figure out shortly. Think that is CLR enhacement service that verify things on the server .

    That is a very ignorant statement. Linux is not always the best choice – it depends on the situation. No one needs either OS. Server 2008 is very, very stable and is used by many fortune 500 corporations.

  42. mithrandir1988 23 May 2010 at 1:51 am #

    thank you!

  43. mithrandir1988 23 May 2010 at 2:29 am #

    Only if you include an acually intelligible documentation for ‘free linux’.

  44. grandmastgarth 23 May 2010 at 3:11 am #

    Yes, No and No.

  45. gr4tuitou5 23 May 2010 at 3:55 am #

    All microsoft operating systems are on some sort of drug. Not the performance enhancing ones unfortunately :(

  46. espire1111 23 May 2010 at 3:59 am #

    Sounds to me like this is something like RAID?

    provides Redundancy/ Parity?

    He’s talking about amalgamating multiple servers to fuction as one, and then operate using Partitioning?

    no?

  47. countryshmountry 23 May 2010 at 4:07 am #

    lolz

  48. chreed34 23 May 2010 at 4:19 am #

    If you don’t know what windows Server is, then you should use snow leopard or get an Xserve
