It should pick up most major vendors equipment, so that shouldn't be an issue. I think it also carries the drivers from Win2K Server and most of XP's drivers, but I haven't gotten around to installing any of my copies yet.

As for information on it, check out the beta/MSDN newsgroups (as usual for beta support) and http://www.gotdotnet.com/.

I will be installing Beta3 on to a server later today, so I'll post if I have any major problems with it.
It will share WinXP's driver module, so if any drivers don't come part & parcel of the package, the WinXP ones will do nicely.

Probably because the new "Luna" theme is the ugliest/corniest thing ever created, and Microsoft realized it has no place in a server operating system

Well, that, and *maybe* because it's a bit of a hog and might be too unstable for a server OS. Not to mention there is no reason for a server to have theme-based interfaces anyway.

Ah, .NET Server is more of a Pro operating system than Pro. The default options are more like 2k's. Still a couple of options that should be unticked tho like Personal Menus. All in all tho I MIGHT update my servers to .NET and keep my users on 2k.
