Windows Web Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 Standard

Hi,

We have to make decision what edition of MS Windows Server to choose as on
OS for our web server. According to the features description for a particular
edition, I think the web edition could be just fine.

Under what circumstances we could find ouerselfs in a position that we need
to replace the Windows Web Server 2008 by the Windows Server 2008 Standard
edition?

Thanks,
Lubomir

If you need to install / run stuff on the box that is not supported by the
web version, such as SQL, whatnot. There should be a comparison table
somewhere on the MS website so you can look at the features/restrictions on
both.
