<font face="Arial,sans-serif"><font size="2">My Windows 2003 Server and
those of my clients have never crashed. Terminal Server works great; I
can even connect to one wirelessly with my Windows Mobile 5 device
(using Terminal Services client)! Of course I still also like SCO UNIX
OpenServer--super reliable and fast, with good disaster recovery tools
available.<br>

gaining? Not being fascetious, it's
just that I haven't really looked into any server feature sets since I
installed Netware 5. <br>
<br>
My other concern is uptime and security, but it seems that 2003 is
better than I was led to believe.<br>
<br>
Of course I coul just stick to newer and better hardware with the same
old OS. Most of the hardware I'd consider (upgrading to a still old
Storage Array 4300 RAID controller would still give me an 8-fold
increase in disk transfer speeds and most of the database will fit in
memory anyway) will have drivers for NW 5.<br>
