anywhere near as often" - the bad boy has only been out for a few
months! Give it a while - it may surprise us with many, many patches.
;^)
That being said I've been impressed with 2003 myself - I'm running it
now as a Virtual Server host (although the four servers that run inside
it on VMs are all Windows 2000) and it's been rock solid for several
months. Granted my use is somewhat light - but it is running a lot (two
CFMX vms, one SQL Server 2000 vm and one CF 5.0 vm).
I was going to use it for my personal web server, but all I had left was
the "web edition" copy and it won't allow SQL server to be installed
(I'm using the Enterprise edition on my VM host) so that scuttled that
idea.
I'm generally in the "wait until the first service pack" group myself -
but the product is pretty sweet. I don't think that you'll go wrong by
adopting it early.

As one who is running servers in both configurations, I strongly
recommend the
Win 2003 server.
First, it does not have the vulnerabilities that are found in Win2k, and
do not
require patching anywhere near as often.
Second, Most services are default to OFF, which requires a little more
attention
to configuration, but it is easier to leave unused or unneeded services
turned
off.
Third, the interface is XP like and requires less technical expertise to
set up
and maintain,

Subject: Windows 2000 or 2003 Server?
| Hi all,
|
| I'm looking at setting up a new CFMX installation and have been given
| the option of Windows 2000 Server , or 2003 Server.
|
| Which would be the safer option?
|
| Not had having a great deal of experience with 2003 I was going to say
| 2000, but are there any significant advantages of 2003?
|
| thanks, bye!
