Summary: Windows 2000 with just a few enhancements
Review: I got my MSDN shipment yesterday and loaded up the Enterprise version on an HP Pavillion (don't laugh).

All was well, except for sound incompatibility - Turtle Beach not happy.

My biggest gripe - IIS would not start the default web due to "the process cannot access the file because its in use".

Bummer.

And, I tried loading the Adminpak.msi that allows administration of servers from an XP box etc. It did not extract due to "incorrect cluster size".

These are my only complaints so far. Its not a "must have" upgrade for your existing Windows 2000 servers. Nothing really compelling out of the box that I can see. All admin tools are the same, AD etc.

Microsoft still makes the best software on the planet no matter what anyone says.

I've used OSX, Linux, SGI O/2, and nothing can compare to ease of use, tools, and built in services.
