Sharepoint 2007 on Windows 2008 - windows

I wanted to get some feedback about the problems we might face if we deploy Sharepoint 2007 on Windows 2008 instead on windows 2003

Windows SharePoint Services 3 is supported just fine on Windows 2008. You'll need to make sure that you're using SP1.

See answers on ServerFault:
Installing Office SharePoint 2007 on Windows Server 2008 R2?
Installing Sharepoint 2007 on Windows Server 2008 R2
To save you time two main points of the solution are:
Create your own slip-streamed installation of SharePoint with the latest Service Pack included (SP3 at the moment) and then install this directly onto Windows Server 2008 R2.
Activate .NET Framework 3.5.1 feature in Windows Server to get rid of the Windows Workflow Foundation error

Is TeamCity 8.0 compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2

The TeamCity website reports that the software is compatible and tested with Windows Server 2008 and not on Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012/R2. Has anyone deployed TeamCity on Windows Server 2012 R2 ? Is there any known issue that we need to be aware of? Will the customer service team support queries on Windows Server 2012 R2?
TeamCity site's System Requirement page
Windows Server 2012 R2 is fully supported.
I have set-up three different build servers on Windows Server 2012 R2. There is no known issues.
I have also used Microsoft SQL Server with TeamCity. (here's a tutorial http://log.ld.si/post/teamcity8-sql-server).
They will support queried ofcourse :)

VS 2012 and windows 2008 Server Enterprise

When I try to install Visual Studio 2012 on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, I have a error message from installer.
You must upgrade or update Operating Systems to the latest Service Pack using Window Update to meet the requirement before installing this products.
For Windows 8, this product is not compatible with pre-released versions of Windows 8. Please upgrade to latest release version of Windows 8.
This computer does not meet the setup requirements. For more information, see the readme.

I already installed every update on Operating system.
What have I do to install VS2012 Ultimate ?
It is clearly stated by Microsoft that only 4 Windows releases are supported by Visual Studio 2012, and Windows Server 2008 (non-R2) is not qualified,
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server 2012 (x64)
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-ultimate-2012#product-edition-ultimate-requirements
I believe the link included in the error message can also lead you to this information.
So stop your fight in vain and try to build a qualified machine.

You should install SharePoint 2010 on that machine. Either install it on Windows 7-8 or Windows Server 2008-R2

Check this Installing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 on Windows 7 x64 along this follow msdn.
you should have 64-bit version of Windows 7. then follow the step
mentioned in the above link. Install the additional prerequisites carefully else the installation will cause some error.

Can't Lync 2010 be installed in windows 2003 server?

I have asked our IT team to install Lync 2010 in my Windows 2003 server machine.
IT person told that it can't be installed in Windows 2003 server.
Is it not compatible with Windows 2003 server or any other extra software update do we need to install?
I am using Windows 2003 server standard edition sp2.
Lync 2010 requires Windows Server 2008 or later. The previous release, OCS 2007 R2, can be installed on Windows 2003.

Nope. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 only installs on Windows Server operating systems from 2003 to 2008 R2.
