This is the licensing decision made by the Windows team and honored by the ISA
team.
Win2K3 WE is intended to be a single-function web server; noting more.
If you want general-purpose OS functionality, get Standard Edition.
It's just that simple.

Actually, what is the deal with Win2K3 Web Edition?
Is it simply a "stripped down" version of Win2K3, in which it can only run Web
Related processes?
Or does it have some special optimizations built in, that make it run "better
somehow" versus running a standard version of Win2K3 with it's version of IIS?
I've heard tidbits here and there on what makes Web Edition different (mostly
regarding licensing differences due to the unique nature of Web
Requests) - but would be very interested in hearing anything else you guys have
to say about the topic.
Thanks guys for all your input,
Mike

It's actually "no on licensing reasons".
Win2K3 WE license disallows running any application other than standard
IIS-based code.

Why "No on practical reasons?"
