Windows 2000 Server

[erik]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if theres a noticeable difference between Windows 2000
Server sp4 and Windows 2003 Server. I'm going to be running a server on an
old computer for personal FTP use, and a game server... either Call of Duty
2, or Counter-strike 1.6 if i can figure it out. It's going to be on a
cable modem. I'm new to server operating systems, so I just want the
simplest choice. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Server 2003 is based on XP's code. Win2K support will end next year (not
even security updates.) XP/Server2K3 will still be supported for a few
more years.
