windows-server-2008-r2

There are features and APIs that are included in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, but not the another. Where can I find a specific list of the differences? Is there anything to especially avoid if the program is to be compatible with both? Naturally, the question can be generalized to any version of Windows and its respective server edition. selbie https://serverfault.com/questions/55355/whats-the-difference-between-windows-server-2008-2008-sp2-and-2008-r2 In general, the core API set of Windows 7 and Win2K8(R2) are supposed to be near identical.

We are migrating to Windows 2008 R2 Standard and will be using a Microsoft Clustering (active-passive) configuration. Our application is heavily dependent on MSMQ private queues and our install creates well over 100 private queues using the following C# code. MessageQueue.Create(".\private$\myqueue", false); Since the install is not running inside the context of the cluster, the queues are created on the local node and not in the cluster. We then tried changing the code to: MessageQueue.Create("MYCLUSTERNAME\private$\myqueue", false); However, you can't create private queues on a different
