I've been using Windows as a network administrator for just over 6 years now. I've used NT4 servers, 2000 servers, and Windows 2003, and there has been a tremendous improvement with each version. There are still some things that drive me nuts in my job, though, and this is a chronicle of the top five.

The thing I don't like about the bundled software such as WMP and OE is that they also have holes in them. With each additional software package you install you add possible holes or ways into the server. This happens both in the windows and the linux world. When you upgrade wmp 9 you have to install more patches to secure it. Now I know that on an average server someone is not going to be using WMP or OE. But if some unknowing admin did they could be compromising all the security measures in place to just check their mail or view a movie they had remotely downloading. Less software means less things to patch.
