title: OS choice for JBoss AS installation in a Windows Server 2008 environment
body: <p>To avoid installation of client access licenses for another Windows 2008 Server in a W2K8 environment, the administrator offered me to install a Windows 7 VM installation where I could install some JBoss 6 AS web applications.</p>
  
  <p>However I think there might be disadvantages of using Windows 7 (resource usage, integration with the other servers). Would Windows Web Server 2008 be a better option? It does not require CALs for the web users and would have a similar configuration user interface.</p>
  
  <p>Update: the server is meant to be used for a production environment of a low traffic Internet web application.</p>
