Thanks for the links there Chance appreciated. Unfortunately unless I missed something while reading them I still see nothing that 2k3 server has over XP that can help in running a game server. Did I miss something?
The background and foreground thing has been in NT kernel since way way back and hence also available in XP.

This is about the background and foreground applications. Basicly it tells you that the server is either optimized to give services the higher priority, or to give everything the same priority within it's class. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/info/nt5.shtml
I personaly prefer OpenBSD for everything, but I also have to know windows very well for my day job, so I spend time digging up these tidbits about differences.
