Tempting... XP is still my primary development environment and only this week I found the solution to the hardware compatibility issue that was stopping me upgrading. If XP has an issue (which doesn't surprise me at all) then I suspect Server 2003 will have the same problem. That is supported until (at least) July 2015 so I think dropping support (as much as I like deleting code) is a little premature.
