I would not recommend it. Apart from the fact that the scheduler works different the whole disk cache management is configured differently (more reliability, less performance).

I use Server 2003 on the domain controller at work.
I wouldn't suggest it as an OS for music production. XP is the most stable, imho.

+1. XP is the best Windows OS for music, in my experience.

I 'm not agree with you annikk.exe, XP HOME and XP PRO can't use more 3 Go of Ram.
And server 2003 is as stable as XP Home/Pro ( perhaps more )

I 've seen many users on this forum who use also server 2008, so there is reason isn't it?

Now i would like to get also an opinion from a server 2003' user.

You can get the 64 bit version of XP if you want, and get as many gigabytes of RAM as you please. But then you couldn't use Virus Control.

There is no way to have Virus Control and more than about 3.2gigabytes of usable RAM unless you subcontract VC out to a seperate 32 bit machine and control it with midi or some ethernet cable solution.
