How good a job does it do, I mean? Functioning as an OS for just a single workstation? I heard there's a number of things that wouldn't be possible to do/have with Win2K3 configured this way, things that work just fine in Win XP, like I know some Logitech mouse is impossible to install due to some driver-OS mismatch. What are the others? Thanks,

Well, according to a thread over at neowin.net, the things that XP supports and 2K3 Server does not are these: First, system restore points – a major deal IMO; don't know why it doesn't work. Second, Plug & Play for quite a large number of devices – but of course, YMMV. Thirdly, from personal experience, I can attest to it not being able to support MS bluetooth keyboard/mouse, but I don't know about Logitech mice. Hope that's enough for you?
