When we talk about going to a windows server 2003 and Windows server 2008 is there a difference in how user friendly the above option are. Which one would be easier for someone with out much experience to use ?

If one has less exposure on Windows 2003/2008 OS, it will be preferred to go for Windows 2008, as Windows 2003 is getting out of the market place,after some days getting support for 2003 can become a bit difficult as every one is going with the new technology, so its better to start with the latest technology available. Windows 2008 is much more easier and secured, Like configuring Security, use of IPv6, Managing the Domain environment and much more, are supported very well. So I would suggest to go with Windows 2008.

I personally preferred windows 2008.Before this I have tried 2003 buy I like 2008 version when I was tried once.

Windows 2003 is not recommended on servers as you have a option to go for Windows 2008 which has more features and also offers more reliability. So go with Windows 2008 rather than Windows 2003.

Windows 2008 is the most preferred OS now. Microsoft stopped support for Windows 2003 as far as I know.

Out of my experience 2003 is user friendly..

Although Windows 2003 is user friendly, it is still better to use Windows 2008. It has new features and as the saying goes, technology is innovation. So better have the Windows 2008 than staying with windows 2003.

Thanks for the information Ross, can you please let me know the features of windows 2008 as compared to 2003. Or some important point we can consider while deciding the web server platform.

It is better to go with windows 2008 because the use of windows 2003 has decreased as everybody is looking for updated OS.

In my view windows 7 is the best... From all others windows 2008 is better comparatively 2003.
