Am I missing something? This new operating system is supposed to replace the old stuff. Is it possible to set up a client/server network using just XP? All of the information I can find says to use Win2000 server and XP stations. Horrors, someone even suggested a Linux server. I just thought that one could set up an entire network with one opsys.

You can use windows xp machines is a (small) peer-to-peer network, but if you want a domain with a file server and\or central mangement capabilities, you must run a SERVER with a server operating system on it (such as windows2000 server, linux, netware etc....)
