Hello, after spending several weeks trying to figure out how to build a Sharepoint "development" machine as frugally as possible, to prototype a Windows Sharepoint Workflow process, i now realize that it will probably wiser to bite the bullet and let Dell do the configuring, but now i've got a whole new bunch of hardware feature decisions to make and my first inclination is to go with the latest and greatest, ie Windows Server 2008, but does anyone know if WS2008 is really stable and ready for prime time? and or as realible as the Windows Server 2003 R2 please? What i've selected so far has the arrow referenced "<<<<<<<"
And also if you would recommend any changes to what i've selected and maybe a short reason i would really greatly appreciate that!
