Brew, this is hardly the place to be engaging in your anti-Windows campaign. If you really want to run a server on mips architecture, fantastic. Windows isn't for you. Don't try to force your open source ideologies everywhere you go, it gets old quick and if I recall correctly it's the reason you got k-lined from an IRC network. You're just trying to troll again as you do everywhere you go, and I'm not going to entertain it any further.

I've tryed windows 7 twice and both times they have ended up biting me back in my ass, alot of problems this early in it's stage for win7 so im just going to hold back for a while on it.

And as for the 2008 server edition, it seems like a waste to be trying a win vista-win7 ish OS on it when everything would work fine on the 2003 edition and have oh so much more resources left...

We have eight processor cores and 12 gigs of RAM for a server that's dedicated to seedboxes and now battle.net bot hosting.  I think we will have plenty of resources left over once the OS has used its share.


We went with Windows Server 2008 R2 for the new features it provides such as RemoteApp.  This allows our seedbox users to run their applications virtualized on their desktop as if it were installed locally.  For instance, a user can install the RemoteApp version of uTorrent on their home PC which allows them to open a .torrent file that starts downloading directly to the server seamlessly without first opening Remote Desktop and logging into the server.


If you are at all interested in our services and not simply just posting to rag on our choice of Operating System, I would like to invite you to try out an account to see how well your torrenting applications or battle.net bots run. I'd be willing to bet there are plenty of free resources available for them.

Actually, it's loosely based on Windows 7 with much more than a "cupple of server management tools" different from a desktop operating system.

Both you and your website specified Windows Server 2008. This is indeed based on Vista, in the sense that it shares the same exact kernel and other core binaries. Windows Server 2008 R2, however, uses Windows 7 as its base.
By what you say, you make Windows Server editions seem oh-so-much-more robust than their desktop counterparts - can you justify this?

It is 2008 R2.  We don't find it necessary to specify on the website because to your average seedbox user doesn't care, and we are marketing mainly to seedbox users.


You make Windows 7 sound like it's not robust.  Can you justify this?  I leave my Windows 7 desktop running for 30+ days at a time, usually with 20 or more applications open.  Seems pretty robust to me.

noob.

I may be wrong but I believe if you download the VB6 common controls at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=25437D98-51D0-41C1-BB14-64662F5F62FE&displaylang=en it should install the Winsock and Rich Text Editor controls for you.

I would like to say that we are offering a $10 a month package with reduced bandwidth/hard drive space for battle.net users to host bots. Get a hold of me with one of the methods on our Contact page for more information.
