You cannot use the Web Edition to be a Domain Controller, Terminal Server, Hyper-V host, etc. It is a Web Server only. | |||

Following on from the answers above (the pdf isn't that easy to see on the pages). Here is a direct link to a PDF overview on Microsoft's site of each server role (feature set) available in each edition. Comparison of Server 2008 R2 Editions

According to Microsoft the main difference is that the "web edition" includes Microsoft's own web server (IIS). More differences can be seen on the following page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-editions-overview.aspx | |||||
