    I plan on setting up a new webstore here.
    Should I use:
    Win 2003 w/II6
    or

    Win 2008 w/II7 ?

    I'm developing the ASP.NET application with Visual Studio 2005.

    Also, should I specify (if possible) for the application to run under
    .NET Framework 3.5 or 2.0?
    I know the application uses 2.0 to run anyway, but should I still
    specify version 3.5? thanks

    If all you require is ASP.NET 2.0 then Windows 2003 will do fine. If you are developing in Vista with Visual Studio 2008 and have exprience with IIS7,choose Windows 2008. Hosting accounts are initially setup to run .NET 2.0/3.0/3.5.

    thanks Aristotle, but wouldn't it better to run the application
    on Win 2008, since it is available and isthe latest version of the OS?
    It would be ok to run a Visual Studio 2005 application on it, right?

    Well.. I think this is completely your choice. The only thing I recommend before you choose IIS7 is that you have a development environment in IIS 7. The web.config schema between IIS6 / IIS7 is different.
