When NT 4.0 was first released, the O'Reilly folks did an analysis of the
kernels, comparing workstation and server. Result - no difference. They
found differences in the registry - one of which, if my memory is accurate,
involved the 5 (10?) connection limit for file sharing. Seems to me that it
did involve a technical constraint. The article was taken down withing a few
days after a complaint that the "research" was an attempt to violate the
licensing agreement. Tickle anyone's memory?

is extremely unclear what this applies to (some people will say it is just
print/file sharing, others say just Microsoft Internet services, others say
all TCP/IP and similar activity, etc.). It's up to you to determine if the
licensing meets your needs. Microsoft does not impose a technical limit.
