Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003

I know I still have not installed SP2 because of the problems it causes with SQL Server, I can't wait to see what kind of havoc it causes on the servers..."

Re:Running Win Server 2k3 as a Workstation

There's this wide belief that Windows 2000 is better than Windows XP because it's more simple... i.e. less background services, less eye candy, runs faster.

I don't know what planet you're from but it's not the same one I'm on. Everyone I know thinks Win2k was horrible. Of the three places I've worked for in the last 4 years only one liked Win2k enough to try a massive deployment of it (against my recommendation too). Then in 2001 they realized I was right and I had to downgrade the entire company back to Win98. Most of their windows boxen remained there until WinXP, but I did managed to get Linux installed on about 1/4 of them.
