What's so Great about Server 2003

Advantage other than the obvious one that as it is newer it is better writen with some of the 2000 bugs ironed out. But I must specify that I am currently playing with a prerelease version and it really lacks some of the nice bits like sound driversfor Sound Blaster Cards but it really does have better networking fuctionality and its native enviroment while not being usable with NT4 is quite nice and a real improvment over 2000 although you could continue to use it in mixed mode. When the release copies become available next month they are susposed to be shipping with MOE and thats really cool if you want to produce mulitipal HDD with the OS installed. But as I said I am only playing with RC2 which is a pre release version and from what Iunderstand Longhorn is a long way off as M$ can't get their proposed new file system to work and they have been trying for a few years now, the leaked versions that are downloadable off the net are no where near what the final release will be and then I still believe that M$ will keep the professional and Home versions different like they have done with XP and 2000 Server as even XP Pro can not do what 2000 Server can. Also from what M$ is saying Longhorn is a replacment for XP and in no way issusposed to replace the 2000 series of Windows. But then again after XP was released for at least a short time it was claimed the M$ where bringing all their products into line under 1 name with different versions for different purposes. Currently Iadminister a network wit 2000 Server and most of the workstations are running XP with a few remaining 98 ones hanging around. However what I can't understand is exactly where 2000 Professional fits into the overall scheme of things as it does nothing more than XP Pro.
