Does what it says on the tin

Advantages: Simple to use OS with lots of built in features
Disadvantages: Expensive when their are lots of free solutions available

Server 2003 is by no means revolutionary, and is more of an incrementla upgrade to Windows Server 2000. It does add some updated features, such as IIS 6 and a better implementation of Terminal Services. For novices, Server 2003, and all Windows Server products are usually just for Network Server machines, for managing clients, and for providing access to resources. It needs major tweaking to play games on! It does what it says on the tin, and does ...
...implementation of Terminal Services allows it to bolt onto Citrix well. For those using Server 2000 however, it is probably worth jumping Server 2003 straight to the forthcoming Server 2008 (Longhorn). The standard edition of Server 2003 is suitable for all but the largest of orgaisations> If you have a large multi-forrest enterprise or a datacentre, then it may be worth getting a more expensive version. ...

They have a HOME version for a reason

Advantages: Very Secure, Very Efficient
Disadvantages: Media Support

...as has become standard with microsoft is quick, customizable and efficient with no problems Windows 2000 Pro practically slipped onto my machine. I loved the new security features, having a child who uses my machine i could protect my programming projects from being corrupted by providing a seperate login and denying access, something i had never done on a local drive before, security even stretched to the individual files, again this was handy to ...
...Being able to swap drive letters on CD and DVD drives was a god send and a function i used quite often. The now standard collapsing control panel is very handy and the help system actually helped rather than slowing the machine down it just pops up ready to use, the ONLY and i do mean ONLY reason i abandoned 2000 pro for windows XP pro is because of the media support. Windows 2000 professional places tasks such as screen drawing (moving the mouse, ...

Microsoft OS XP SP2

Advantages: Better Firewall and Wireless Networking
Disadvantages: With Sp2 Not much Difference in the Performance

...after the release of SP3 Microsoft has proved its point on the flaws and enhancements of some of its targeted features.there are few points that i am going to include in this review which I found necessary for the users to know about the new XP SP3.okay first of all I am going to talk about the new pop up blocker in the IE6 which is I think is a great help for the users.As we all are In worries about these unwanted pop ups keep coming back to the ...
...pushing advertisements on us. So Microsoft done a great work in building such a thing which comes with IE.So when a pop up will come out a message will show in the status bar saying about the opo up to view you just have to click on it.By default it comes with the sound also which you can turn on or off from the menu settings.The Microsoft removed the Media Bar from its latest SP3 so when I tried to download the flash player from Adobe it only blocked ...
