Hi Atrix, All software products get phased out eventually, but 2 years is not a short period of time.
According to the Windows Product Lifecycle, the free patches and updates are still supported until March 31 2005 http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/support/lifecycle/ Windows2003 Server hasn't even had the first SP released, and has some issues, whereas I find Windows2000 Server the most stable NT based platform for web-applications. IIS 5.0 on Windows2000 Pro only supports "one" virtual Domain, whereas IIS 5.0 on Windows2000 Server can have multiple virtual Domains. IIS 5.1 on WindowsXP is just like Windows2000 Pro (a Desktop OS) and also only supports "one" virtual Domain. Hope this helps. Cheers.....
