Windows server as a development machine
I have been using Windows XP for many years as a development environment. I now need to get a much faster machine, with more cores and am considering a 4-socket machine so I can have 16 physical cores. Unfortunately it seems that normal windows can not handle more than two sockets and my only choice is to get a copy windows server. I have never used windows server before - is it just windows with the ability to use more sockets or is there something more fundamentally different? I have a huge variety of software on my XP machine - should it all work?
