I have some small, light-weight non-mission critical server applications
that normally I always installed on server-grade hardware, thus
requiring Server 2003.  With the advent of virtualization - you are no
longer bound to the requirement of using Server 2003, etc for hardware
compatibility.
 
What are the caveats of using XP Pro instead?   (Assuming the server
application actually runs on XP - I have seen many that do).   
 
 
 
Off the top of my head:
 
Pros: 
Licensing costs
 
Cons:
2 RDP connections
IIS
10 concurrent connections
Stability?
