Hello,

I am curious if anyone is running Windows Server 2003 on the OQO, 2nd is if all the drivers and applications are compatible/install ok ?

Thanks

Hmm, I don't, also I haven't got Windows Server 2003, but the far I know it needs a better CPU then a normal Windows XP to work fine (depending on the version a 550MHz or 733MHz CPU is recommended while XP is recommended on a 300MHz CPU). And the far you are not planning to use your OQO as a webserver, you will go better with XP I guess.

You can run normal NT-applications (and therefor I think also normal XP drivers), but well, it's a server OS optimized for use as a server...

If a server operating system is available try it out

A cut down and tweaked version of 2003 is faster than XP... that being said it may not be a suitable OS for the OQO, I will give it a shot.

I have OQO running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 without problems.

And various customers with the same configuration, two years ago without issues.

I recommend 64 GB SSD drives for high performance.

In some aspects an SQL Server run better in OQO with SSD than old servers with old hard drives.

I run my OQO connected with Small Business Server 2003 in french. Well, this software is not compatible with Vista and do not accept to work with a Windows XP UK. Check all this point before buying an OQO.
