I've been running 2003 for a while now.... it's more secure, but only because soooooo much stuff is dissabled by default!

I can't see any benefit in instaling it unles you have a server spare and fancy looking at M$'s latest offering. I use my .net server on my LAN as a basic file and print server, but I have been toying with streaming media and stuff.

Oh, as for the 386/486/penti versions.... not a chance!
There are still LOADS of companies running 486 and Pentium Pro servers, who do actualy upgrade to 200 Adv Server! It may take an age to start up, but how often do you restart a server???

FYI, I'm running 2003 .net server on a P200MMX with 128MB EDO RAM!
