Hi list,

I work in very large corporation with many of windows and mac users. About 7 years ago we deployed a web based application for our department using instant web publishing under FMServer7.
We also have many FX based tools but the majority of the data entry is still done in IWP,  I know IWP is not ideal but it works reliably and is the frankly the least of our problems.
It ran well for a few years on an old box in the corner until our IT department decided that it HAD to be moved to their racks so they put it on a rack mounted xserve running server 8, it might even be 9 I'm not sure.
Anyways, now that apple has discontinued their server line there is a push from IT to move everything to a windows box with whatever the latest windows version of the server is.
Is there any pitfalls, or issues that I should be aware of?
