    Hey,

    This is probably going to be a very stupid question, but on Windows servers can you install things like Firefox on them?
    I've seen someone that owns a Windows server view the desktop just like a regular PC?

    If you can do this, is it possible to run scripts like a regular linux server, open up firefox on the backend and grab the source code etc of a specific web page through firefox?

    Thank you :)

    you can rdesktop to your server and install whatever just like your local desktop.
    you can open up firefox and check the source code of script.
    All these are possible only if you have the administrator privilege(or privilege to do an rdesktop) to the server.
