Is it possible to run Windows Server on Apple Xserve hardware?

  • 772

Apple's Boot Camp allows you to run a Windows client OS on Apple hardware. Has anyone had success in running a Windows Server OS natively on Apple's Xserve hardware?

Does anyone know if Boot Camp updates coming in Snow Leopard will support this?

  2. If you want to run windows on on xserve the recommended solution as far as I am aware is to run Parallels or VMWare and run a virtual windows server inside OS X server.

  3. Parallels now has a product that allows you to create a virtual Windows 2008 or 2003 server on your Xserve.
