Windows While we often focus on the desktop offerings from Microsoft, the company of course also plays a role in countless other markets. The most prominent of those is probably the server market, where Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 are now facing a number of support changes - important stuff if you manage Windows servers. The biggest news? There will be no third service pack for Windows Server 2003.

Actually, IMHO, Windows 2K was MS' best OS.

While no a bad OS by itself, we found that Win2K3 eats far more resources (compared to Win2K) - even if you slim it down, making it less than ideal for semi-embedded (as in application server) usage.
