I was wondering if developing ASP.NET applications on Windows Server 2008 was a good idea, and if not why not.
At work we have to use Windows Server 2008 as our desktop OS for developing (as it is closer to the production environment apparently). Using a server OS as your development environment doesn’t seem right to me.
Does anyone know if this is good or bad practice?
EDIT – How about performance? I imagine they’d be pretty much the same though.
Nothing wrong with it.
In some ways, it is good practice, in particular if your servers run the same OS and version (so you can find out certain issues early on).
