Datacenter 64-bit server works great . i don't know about visual studio stuff but when i installed cyberfox 64 bit it required visual studio and it ran just fine.Runs just as good as windows 8 Pro x64.The only apps i could not use was the normal mini partition tool and the sdhc memory card formatter
I have no idea of Windows Server and all its roles/users/policies and things like that. So just installing the server and then using the Workstation converter tool will be enough? Won't there be any admin issues or things like that? I really don't want to key-in commands on the Powershell...
