Hello, I have never seen or used Windows Server and I have a few basic
questions before switching Windows XP Pro into WS 2008 R2.

Will I be able to install and use other softwares normally as if I was using
Windows XP? I have other servers I would like to use with it and I need to
know in advance if they will be 100% compatible:

Oracle XE 10g
MySQL (latest version)
Apache 2.2
FileZilla server
Windows Media Player 12 sharing
Ultra VNC


So, please let me know if the above software would be OK and besides that, I
would have to test some programs I develop by myself, so I need to know if
WS would behave just like Windows XP (ie. Windows registry access, file
access, windows api functions, etc).

Thanks in advance.

TMA,

You are asking somebody else to do your homework.

You may start by downloading evaluation instalation media (.iso) files.
You may also test on-line by completing some on-line Windows Virtual labs.
You may download vhd files that run inside free Hyper-V Server or eval/full
Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V role.

You may also hire a professional who will do your testing for a fee.

As I said, I have absolutely NO idea of what Windows Server is all about.
I was just asking if the mentioned software would be compatible and if it
would behave like any other OS like Windows XP Pro.
In case positive, I will download the .iso and install it.

Thanks for the reply.
