I don't have an answer for you - I have only two 2008 Server deployed - but the speed between the Vista <-- --> 2008 Server should be significantly faster than XP - 2008.

I have loaded a server with 2008 STD 32bit with file services and it seems that the xp/2003 machines have slow performance connecting or reading drives. I have checked the taskmgr and cpu is low 1-10% and memory low (4gb installed and 700mg - 950 mg used). Virus protection loaded (Symantec in a non-cache mode). A few of the domain admins have vista but we have no problems, so I don't know if it is because we a admins or because we have vista. I do have an xp machine next to me that doesn't experience problems, but I only use it to run other admin tools that don't run on vista (phone system etc.) Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Or is 2008 as big a P.I.T.A. as vista is? Luke L.
