We have to replace our server (2003-based), and we was thinking that it's time to switch to Windows 2008 r2.

Then i saw this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753473.aspx

We only need IIS, no ftp/email/AD required

It looks like IIS in Win7 and Win2008r2 it's almost the same.

How do you think about Windows 7 as a web server?

There are some "hidden" limitations? We could even save a lot of money.
