Windows 2003 is expensive. Its very expensive. but luckily I had the chance to test it rigorously a week back. It is an OS for a high end computer. It is an out and out performance OS and has nothing for the ones that appreciate good looks.
Contrary to public opinion that windows 2003 is boring and dull, I decided to tweak into a proper OS where I could listen to music, play games and even made it look like windows XP. Windows 2003 is much more stable, reliable and securethan good old XP.
Here are the good parts of this OS :
- very fast
very stable
does support directX, sound and the windows XP pretty themes, only thing is you have to tweak it around a bit
it has volume shadow copying
perfect OS if your PC is a web server
perfect for high end users who want to customize each and everything in the world
supports hyperthreading unlike windows 98/Me/2000
Bad parts, although few are :
- no switching users like windows XP (one major drawback)
no support for USB infrared
some drivers dont support windows 2003
does not support Norton AntiVirus, except Symantec Antivirus Corporate Server
In all if you're a novice or maybe a high end use who doesn't want too many headaches to get the OS working then windows 2003 is not for you. But if you have a server or any good computer and love an OS which won't hang if you tried to bang it on a wall then this is the OS that you're looking for !!
In conclusion I love this thing and I can gladly say that this is the most wonderful OS I have seen !
