What Operating System do you develop on?

I am currently developing on Xp Pro but am finding the limitations to be annoying and thinking about upgrading to W2K3.

Limitations: IIS 5.1 (1 sites, limited connections)
Can't install SQL 2000 Server Enterprise

I use 2000 pro. I dont do much with ASP although i have the IIS installed. Im a PHP man myself... thats somewhat contradictory i imagine.. but its ok i guess. :eek:

Win2K3 mostly, since we mainly develop web apps which we deploy onto Win2K3.

XP Pro, but for other people...

where are the options for developing on Linux/OSX?

Since it was the VB.Net Forum... I kinda ment .Net Developing.

Use 2K3 @ work which is a pain in the proverbial because we deploy to XP, 2K and NT so invariably, everything breaks when we try to deploy :(

At home and when I'm teaching, I use XP. No probs.

did you hear of this -> http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:About

Mono, the open source development platform based on the .NET framework, allows developers to build Linux and cross-platform applications with improved developer productivity. Mono's .NET implementation is based on the ECMA standards for C# and the Common Language Infrastructure.

yes, but its incomplete, and there is no vb.net compiler.

(Can't edit teh poll...so no *inx options )

I develop on XPPro but many of my apps run on XP embedded.

I develop on XP Pro but we have several 2003 Servers, a SQL 2000 Server, and an Exchange 2003 Server. So I can develop
just about any type of app. I havent done an embedded app yet but probably will some time soon.

good for u rob :p
i manage about 25 pcs here (windows xp pro)
and we got one raid5 hp server with 1gb ram :) <- i haven't got chance to play with it.

btw the DSL (damn small linux) looks nice on my vmware :p

None of the above....

Cheers,

I Hobberize (not develop) on Xp home right now ;)

= right now this is a hobby/learning period for me so I don't know if I can dignify it by calling it Developing :).

PS 0.o I think I invented a new word!
