Differences between Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
提问by Juho ?stman
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.
Windows 7 或 Windows Server 2008 R2 中包含一些功能和 API，但不包含其他功能和 API。在哪里可以找到差异的具体列表？如果程序要与两者兼容，有什么需要特别避免的吗？当然，这个问题可以推广到任何版本的 Windows 及其各自的服务器版本。

In general, the core API set of Windows 7 and Win2K8(R2) are supposed to be near identical. (Vista and the original Win2k8 are supposed to be the same as well...)
通常，Windows 7 和 Win2K8(R2) 的核心 API 集应该几乎相同。（Vista 和原来的 Win2k8 应该也是一样的...）
We've shipped products that run on both platforms and only had to do a minimal amount of testing on Win2k8 to insure compatibility.
我们提供的产品可在两个平台上运行，只需在 Win2k8 上进行少量测试即可确保兼容性。
With server OS SKUs, many of the desktop components (e.g. Windows Media Player) are not installed by default. And others may not be available at all (Windows Media Center, and certain shell features). You may have to rely on the user to install the "desktop feature pack" from Control Panel->Programs&Features->Turn Windows Features on/off to get some APIs available.
对于服务器操作系统 SKU，默认情况下不会安装许多桌面组件（例如 Windows Media Player）。其他的可能根本不可用（Windows Media Center 和某些外壳功能）。您可能不得不依赖用户从控制面板-> 程序和功能-> 打开/关闭 Windows 功能来安装“桌面功能包”以获取一些可用的 API。
In any case, the key is to test,test,test....
无论如何，关键是测试，测试，测试......
