I recently noticed that the same ASP.Net application behaves differently in terms of formatting between Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008/Windows 7 for culture en-ZA.
Our application has functionality that exports a gridview to a CSV file, and this is where I picked up something is wrong, the digit separator showed as a  character, which is a unicode character which Excel does not handle well in CSV files.
On Windows Server 2003, the digit grouping symbol is a comma (,), whereas on Server 2008 and Windows 7 it is a unicode space. Apparently someone decided that change was necessary, I found a reference here: http://forums.asp.net/t/1424752.aspx/1
