So there is a benefit to running Windows Server 2003 and XP

One of the reasons Windows Server 2003 and XP haven't caught on in corporate network environments is that Microsoft has yet to demonstrate any real benefit to either one of them over Windows 2000.

Believe it or not, there actually is one benefit. It may or may not be worth the cost of upgrading, but if you're buying licenses now and installing 2000, this information might convince you it's worth it to install the current versions instead.

Finally, a little bit more detail on the haziest (to me) story in my controversial Why I Dislike Microsoft has appeared: Gary Kildall's side of the CP/M-QDOS-PC DOS 1.0 story.

The story corroborates what I said, but I wish the story answered more questions.
