Better for what? It's certainly better for a server. XP is better for a
workstation. Did you have a specific use in mind?

Gordon;
What is the major difference?
One is a server, the other is a workstation.

Which is better?
Windows XP is better for workstation duties.
Windows Server 2003 is better for server duties.

Compare the prices and other information:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/default.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/default.mspx

They are both very good at what they are designed to do.
Both are very poor when they are not used as designed.

It doesn't really compare to XP, it's for server operations, such as
file serving/streaming media/database server, so it has in built tools
for administering each feature.
Windows2003 has a faster tcp/ip stack than xp, and has a drive cache
boost under drive properties/hardware, that is not available in xp or 2k.
