In of the top of your head in any thing people would opt for the newer choice as well "newer is better" (not true i know) but still it happens

I wish to chose Parallels H-Sphere (not a final decision but my highest choice at the moment) for my server, i am choosing because, well its my preferred choice.

But should i chose 2003 or 2008?
H-Sphere website says "H-Sphere for windows server 2003" now dose that mean it only runs on windows server 2003?
I really lost on this one.

Server 2008 seems like the best option for future expanding and a cheaper future...but it cant happen if i cant have the software.

cheers.

At this time Hsphere does not support nor has support been announced for Server 2008.

Hsphere will run the windows hosting service on either windows 2000 or 2003. Also with Hsphere you need to have a Linux server for your control panel, dns, mysql, and mail services before adding a windows server for web and mssql hosting services.

Why is that?
