There are limits on the number of connections to the webserver and all that
(which it sounds like you've read some on it). I went ahead and upgraded to
Server on my workstation, though the other developers run Pro cause they're
not running local copies of IIS (they develop against either my maching or a
common development box that still runs NT4). I've got IIS, SQL 7, and
SiteServer (+Commerce) running locally, so it made sense to just run W2k
Server (and I talked my boss into the licensing). That and my maching is the
proving ground for our apps as we migrate to W2K on our production boxes
(still NT4)....

So, if you can afford it, go Server....
