Every product launched by Microsoft receives a great attention by the industry players as well as the home users like us.
The same is with Windows 2003. This version is not just an upgrade to Windows 200 or XP. Infact this product is developed with the feedbacks from System Admins and Developers.
Another feature that Windows 2003 has is the VSS. The Volume Shadow copy Service takes snapshots of your hard drives and help you to restore it in the state if anything goes wrong. With this one can recover deleted files.
Please note that Windows 2003 is not aimed at home users, Although there is no harm in using it, But I suggest Windows XP is the best for any home user.
Setup & Requirements
================
Installation of Windows 2003 is similar to Windows XP. But after installing, one must activate 2003. If not activated within a 60 day period, the copy of Windows 2003 will expire.
Although the minimum CPU speed recommended is just 133 Mhz, Windows 2003, Microsoft recommends CPU Speed of 550 MHz with atleast 128MB or RAM and a 1.5GB of disk space to get your hands on this OS.
