We have a server at work running Windows Server 2003. We log onto the server using Remote Desktop and basically use it as a normal Windows PC. It also hosts our homepage and more importantly our booking system and database (I work at a motel). It also controls the electronic locks and keycards for all the rooms.
The server is getting old and we want to replace it.
I'm considering getting a desktop PC with RAID (for backup), since we really don't need an expensive, professional server solution (we got the old one cheap and used).
Apparently Microsoft is going to stop supporting Windows Server 2003 later this year, so I was thinking of getting the cheapest version of Windows 7 for the new server.
It needs to support Remote Desktop and multiple different user accounts.
I'm used to running the Ultimate edition myself, and I'm often surprised by the basic features that have been stripped from the cheaper versions.
Do all versions of Windows 7 support the above?
I'm a bit allergic to Windows 8, and I would rather not have to pay for Windows Server 2012.
Any input is welcome.
