Do I really need to move to Server 2008?

by mike . Updated 14 years ago

I currently have Server 2003R2 32bit. Simple, single production server, not email or web server. I have Win7 clients (mostly) so can benfit from the additional Server 2008 GP’s using GPM console via my Win7 machine. I want to have access to all 6GB of memory in my new server so I could I upgrade to Server 2003R2 64bit or Server 2008R2 64bit but cannot see any benefits from the other extra features in Server 2008. Are there any major reasons why I should not just stick with Server 2003Rs and install the 64bit version. Server 2003R2 seems rock solid.
