Toying with the idea of converting my new quad-GPU F@H box into a WHS to make it serve a purpose besides just folding.
My question is about drivers, do hardware need specific WHS drivers to work, or will XP drivers install OK on WHS?
Lack of driver support could really cripple WHS, IMHO, if it requires special drivers to work, so I hope that's not the case.
Edit: Is there a trial edition of WHS? There used to be 180-day trial versions of MS's other server OSes. Found it. I ordered (3) 120-day trial editions. (Why 3? Because I could, I guess. That gives me a years worth of "evaluation")
Also, does activation on WHS work the same way as XP?
