    If im wanting to have the ability to code the new fancy features like but not limited to COM+, MSMQ, and IIS available in Windows 2000 would installing Windows 2000 Professional be sufficient or do i need Windows 2000 Server Advanced Server? I know with NT that you really needed Server so that you could program with MTS, MSMQ, and IIS but WIN2000 professional now seems to come with everything you need like COM+, MSMQ, and IIS. Is there any cool features that professional lacks that would make installing Advance Server advantageous. Only thing i can think of is if you want to code something with Active Directory Service which im not interested in? Is there anything else that Win2000 Professinal really lacks?

    thanks

    What's the difference between COM and COM+? Does it still have the same IDispatch and IUnknown interfaces?

    My copy of Win2000 Professional has COM+ on it, as well as MSTS and all the rest of it. I didn't see much difference in Advanced Server other than Clustering and AD.
