I thought I would add my two cents worth to the conversation here and 
make the thread grow some more :)

I run Wildcat! Interactive Netserver v6.4 (WINS, or just simply Wildcat! 
for short -- I'm over my WINS vs Wildcat! naming debate) with Platinum 
Xpress v3.0pr5 and Internet Rex 2.31 (1000 node server license) here on 
a Dell 1U server under Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (non-R2 version).

I run WINServer basically because I've been a Wildcat! "fanboy" for 
quite a number of years and no matter what else I run I always go back 
to Wildcat!.

One of the features I enjoy about Wildcat! is wcBASIC :)  It's a MUCH 
easier to learn scripting language than say, Baja or MPL, because it's 
most like BASIC (and it's also really nice because I've taken a regular 
BASIC program meant to run locally and with only a couple lines of 
additional code have been able to make those programs run within 
Wildcat! itself as a "door".

I also have the wcBASIC Plus Pack which pretty much allows me to have 
direct access to the Wildcat! databases and text functions, so basically 
I can "rewrite" Wildcat! to my own specs if need be :)
