SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Core

Got a new development machine today at work. Installed Server 2008 R2 Core as the underlying OS, planning to load a bunch of VMs for whatever I might need.

Since Server 2008 R2 Core supports .net (Server 2008 did not), I found that SQL Server 2008 will install without issue. It’s unsupported, but works.

This got me thinking…what if SharePoint can be installed as well?

Building a Server Core virtual…will update with progress soon.

who 'dis?!

I'm a developer with a history in financial applications (boring) and business intelligence (sweet). Right now I'm focused on cool things, like Azure & Amazon's AWS cloud, Kinect for Windows & all things Windows 8 & Metro. jQuery, AJAX, MVC & the web are the future of development, so if you're not on that train, I'd suggest you find a way on - quickly. I've spent a lot of time working in SharePoint as well - have a look around & make yourself at home. Questions/comments, you can find me on fb & twitter, or use the 'contact' button at the top.
