Differences in 2.0 depending on OS

[kurt sune]

I have heard that framework 2.0 behaves differently if run on w2000 server
versus w2003 server.
That is when run on 2003 usese the os for things that when run on 2000 it
has to solve differently due to differences in funcionality in the two os's.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

I am also trying to find evidence that if I am developing web applications
I need a ws2003 server as development machine, no good using w2000ws or xp.

Can anyone shed some light on this also?

I have heard that framework 2.0 behaves differently if run on w2000 server

versus w2003 server.

The 2.0 Framework includes support for services that are not available on
Windows 2000. It also has security features that exceed Windows 2000
security, and are therefore not applicable to Windows 2000. Other than that,
it runs the same.

I am also trying to find evidence that if I am developing web
applications
I need a ws2003 server as development machine, no good using w2000ws or
xp.

Not true. ASP.Net 2.0 apps can run on IIS 5 as well as IIS 6.

Hello kurt,

Developing web app in ws2003 is more convenient, because IIS has advances
support for development and no 5 connections limits
