2003 Server - What's the dirt?

[David Henderson]

Hi,

What's the dirt on Windows 2003?
Is it very buggy?

Are there really any major issues which have cropped up so far in
mid-scale deployments?

We are about to upgrade all our hardware, which is 10 servers and 250
desktops, currently all on Windows 2000.

We are debating whether or not to rollout 2003 for our NOS and Exchange
- the fear is it isn't mature enough and could be full of bugs etc...

Any feedback seriously welcome...

Thanks in advance,

David Henderson.

It is ther most stable RTM server release yet.
Much fewer issues than W2K server RTM had.
SP1 will make it even better.

Is there a feature on 03 that you really really need right now? I can't
think of anything important enough to upgrade a stable environment right
this second. IMO, BTW.
