I have a vb app I would like to test running on server 2003 using terminal
services to check the performance and reliability, and to see if I need to
tweek the app any to allow it to run better using TS.

I see where MS provides a trial version of server 2003, but am not clear on
how I should download this. That is:

- Should I be looking at the Virtual Server option, and am I correct in that
this option will allow me to download what I thnk is a pre configured
installation of server 2003?
- Does this simplify my task of getting a test environment up, or do I just
do a standard install of server 2033?
- Will this also allow me to run XP on the same machine I will run the
server 2003 on just by rebooting into a different os?

To recap, I believe I must:
- download and install virtual server 2005
- download and install the trial version of server 2003 installed onto
virtual server so that I can use the same computer for running xp if I need
to.
- then setup TS and my app on server 2003 and start my testing.

Do I have this right? Appreciate any help anyone can give. Am a novice to
setting up servers, so details will be very helpful.

Thanks,
Mark
