Is it really necessary for a Developer using Visual Studio
6, Visual Studio .NET (2003) and SQL 2000 to Develop on a
computer using Win2K Server to instead of Win2K
Professional. The feeling is that they have to exactly
duplicate the production environment on which the
application will run.
 
No, it is not at all necessary to -=develop=- in the production environment.

-=Testing=- in the production environment is the key...
 
As long as the framework installed is matching your
production environment then you have no issues between W2K
Pro & W2K Server. Because W2K Pro IS a server OS.

FYI...If you wish to compile code for IIS 6.0 you may have
to move to the XP or W2K3 platform.
