[mapserver-users] mapserver & windoze NT 4 vs. 2000 question

[TCHaddad]

So....

we may be getting a new box in our office that our mapserver app.s will be moving to. I'm fishing for possible migration issues that might be significant enough to sway what we actually buy:

Right now we have a Mapserver app. running on an NT 4.0 SP 6 workstation (not server), with Apache 1.3.20 as a service. Everything works great. 

In spec-ing out what our choices are for something new, we're being given the choice of a box with NT 4.0 again (server version this time) or with Windows 2000 (server version), for the same price. I guess both come with IIS 5.0, so Apache would no longer be mandatory.

My questions are: do I care which of these 2 Operating systems we choose? Are there any significant issues as far as Mapserver or Mapplet are concerned? What about if we get into more XML/ the WMS stuff in 3.5? I've never had a complaint with Apache... are there Mapserver issues with IIS?

Apologies in advance if these are dumb/moot questions, I just know nothing about Win 2k server and saw from the archive that a few people may have had issues. As long as I hear that none are major obstacles, I'm confident we can work out any minor kinks.

Thanks to all,
