Ola Anselmo, basicamente o Web Edition tem somente a função de ser servidor
WEB, não pode ser um controlador de domínio ou file/print server.
Enquanto o Standard tem a função de ser o controlador de dominio ou ser um
servidor de aplicação, além de poder ser um servidor Web.

Web Edition

developing and deploying XML Web services and applications that use ASP.NET
technology, a key part of the .NET Framework. This edition does not require
Client Access Licenses and Terminal Server mode is not included on Web
Edition. However, Remote Desktop for Administration is available on Windows
Server 2003, Web Edition. Only 10 concurrent file-sharing connections are
