I differ from that. I used XP until I installed W2K3. My opinion is
that W2K3 is a heck of a lot more reliable and stable. But again this
is my opinion

For the past year I've been using Windows 2003 on my desktop and my laptop.
Right now only on my laptop though, as I've switch the desktop to XP.
Windows 2003 is better - smoother - more reliable - even its version of MSIE
is better.

Windows Server is not "just XP". The code base was split for Server and the
Microsoft guys spent a year pouring over it. It's better code.

Cost of Server 2003 here in UK - £364
Cost of XP Pro Retail Upgrade £127

Is it REALLY worth paying three times as much for something that
certainly is NOT three times better? Or have you got it just to brag to
your mates?
 
Yes, it is expensive via retail. But for a guy who has a bit of money the
couple hundred pounds won't be noticed and why not? It's a better OS and
anything of consequence will run on it. I got it via my MSDN subscription
because I do coding (and bought the subscription which enables access to
Visual Studio and the operating systems .. including server 2003). I settled
on it for my laptop - works great - and usually for my principle desktop -
although this past week I decided to switch to XP for a while. I have 2003
running my other two desktops though.

Anyone who runs it as a desktop usually finds they like it better than
Windows XP. Heck, even the default desktop is better.
