Look man I'm no Microsoft appologist but if you've got a server it dammed well better have a server OS. Running XP on a box and calling it a "server" doesn't make it one. Sheesh, Yugo could have made a "luxury" car but it'd still have been a yugo.

Our corporation doesn't have an IT guy, so I get tapped for that role almost every day at work because everyone knows I used to work as an IT guy. The Director I work for has made a policy -- I am IT support for her computer and for the computers of my two peers. Everyone else can sort of chill and hope for the best. They are going to make an IT position next summer -- and I want nothing to do with it unless it means a $10K/$15K salary increase. Not my job, man! In fairness to XP, the issue might be our server (maintenance contracted out) that is also Windows. I've already told them that if they offer me the job, WinDoze is going away and we will have a Linux-everywhere corporation. The CEO sort of likes the "FREE" part of it. (I talk to him on a daily basis about this sort of thing.)
