Recommended OS for Visual Studio 2008

What operating system would you recommend when working with Visual Studio 2008 and the asp.net framework? I will use it only for web development, and Visual Studio is the only thing I need.

I do all my programming on a 2 GHz laptop with 2 GB memory. Should I stick with XP? Windows Server 2008/2005 or maybe Vista? Should I use the 64 bit version?

Money is not the problem.

I would choose my desktop OS depending on my server OS to have the same version of IIS. If the server uses 2003, you can choose XP Windows XP x64. If it uses 2008, you should choose Vista.

Even if your server was running in 2003, you can choose Vista to explore the new features of IIS 7 and thus prepare for the day you decide to switch to 2008.

I really see no reason to run 32 bits unless you plan to use some component that does not support the 64-bit version (for example, WSE 2.0).

So Vista 64 bit is probably the best choice or XP Windows XP x64 if you are running Windows Server 2003 and want to play it safe.

I usually work out everything that the environment will be used the most. We are pretty XPrific here, so I used VS2008 there.
