None for most people.

Servers are great machines if they sit in the corner and do nothing but Serve.

Servers are a pain in the neck for all but the most die hard geeks to use as a desktop OS.

Server OSes hate to use DHCP and move from place to place. They like nice stable DNS!!!

Mac Server OS is not even supported on Laptops and I challenged Apple Support on that a couple of years ago as I had new 2 Leopard Server OS(s) and 2 new MacBooks sitting in a dedicated server rack and they said NO! So that started my buying spree of 5 Mac minis so far.

*** Server info but not about original post ****

I just tried to update my test server Mac OS-X 10.6.8 Server OS that runs inside of the newest Parallels 6 and I can not sign into the App Store. I get a message that Apple can not recognize my hardware. This is on a 2011 mac mini with 8GB RAM and running Lion.

Looks like Parallels running Lion is out for now.

Parallels is running Windows 7, Mac OS-X 10.6.8 Server and 64bit Ubuntu Server 10.04 just fine. It is just not letting me upgrade Guest OS.

My Virtual Server answer is probably wait until August:

Apple said Wednesday that Lion would be available in August on a USB thumb drive—similar to the recovery drive that ships with the MacBook Air—for $69. Apple hasn’t said if it will stock these at its retail stores, but it will definitely be available to order online.
