>I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop, currently running Win 98 SE. I would like to use it as a development platform for VFP 6 and West Wind Web Connection. Should I get Windows 2000 Professional or Server, and is there really a difference? Also, I would like to run IIS as my web server. Can I do this with Professional?

You cannot run IIS on Professional, server is the way to go.
