2003 compatibality?

[Jon Cosby]

Someone at work told me that applications developed in VS 2003 on a Windows
Server 2003 system would not be compatible with XP. Is this true?

 

[Ed Kaim [MSFT]]

No, they are compatible, unless you access something very specific on
Windows Server 2003 that isn't on XP. I can't think of a specific example,
but it's just as compatible as XP is with Windows 2000.

Probably some of the stuff in System.DirectoryServices wouldn't be
compatible. Mabye some cryptography. But mainly, I'm thinking I heard
somewhere that the ActiveDirectory integration with is much better on 2003
server. Or was that with Whidbey? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
