# I'm really impressed with it.
Kicks the crap out of all the other OS's I've ever used. Not perfect, like, but much better.

# XP?
as a domain server?
that's yer problem right there. Shurely you want 2000 server for that kind of thing.
or .NET RC2 if you want to be flash

..it called itself ".NET Server" or somesuch - I got the CD from someone who's better educated about what MS stuff does what than me.

It looks like XP, it configures like XP, it crashes like XP (though I do have a singular talent for crashing OS's, so we can't necessary entirely blame MS) so I figured it was XP.

(I'm a Linux freak, if you hadn't noticed :)
