Mine is actually running WinDows Server 2008 temporarily as I prepare  
for a certification test in the next week or two... Windows Server  
2008 installs quite nicely, no driver issues at all (naturally).

With quad cores and gobs of RAM, it should nicely host all the VMs I  
need for this effort (likely just 3 or 4).

This is a nice server, highly recommended when they go on sale at Dell.
