I have some small, light-weight non-mission critical server applications that normally I always installed on server-grade hardware, thus requiring Server 2003. With the advent of virtualization - you are no longer bound to the requirement of using Server 2003, etc for hardware compatibility. What are the caveats of using XP Pro instead? (Assuming the server application actually runs on XP - I have seen many that do). Off the top of my head: Pros: Licensing costs Cons: 2 RDP connections IIS 10 concurrent connections Stability?
