This is a great news. But the major thing i just wonder whether Win 2003

supports Visual Studio .Net. I had major problem which set up Visual Studio

.Net on Windows Datacenter Server. If anyone knows any information about

win 2003 and VS .Net, plz post the links or info.

Thx

I'm sure it has Solitaire (lol do you play that crap?)

Win2k3 isn't a gaming OS, so don't expect Microsoft to support Gaming and Multimedia on Win2k3 and release patches to fix any future problems relating to it. Some users who take this path could probably get stuck in a few months time, and will end up going back to XP.

Steve Ballmer will personally all people in the neck who try playing games on Windows Server 2003. If you are CAUGHT you will be shot in the neck and sweated all over by the big fat man himself.

I would suggest rather than trying to do stupid computer tricks with Windows 2003, that you RTFM and learn what ERD is, because if you don't know what an emergency repair disk is, or how to create one you shouldn't even TRY deleting NTOSkrnl.exe/dll it's VERY dangerous.
