Although it is still working to finish the code for Windows Vista, Microsoft has reached a decision on which versions of the operating system to offer. Microsoft has settled on six versions, including an Ultimate edition that will combine the best of the company's corporate and consumer features. The company is aiming to have all of the versions ready for launch in the second half of next year.

While I do agree that Windows server 2003 is a great server OS, with many security improvements, I donīt believe that Vista will be the most secure OS just because its based on Server 2003 code.
Firstly, its generally harder to a secure a general purpose system, such as a desktop. There are way more legacy applications for the desktop, and the users are not all that skilled. So you have compromise more between usability and security.
Secondly, I think that there are other OSīes that are designed with even more security in mind than Server 2003 and Vista. OpenBSD and Solaris are some examples of this.
