| HI
|
| Our IIS is installed on a Windows 2000 server, I want to change from Windows
| 2000 server to XP Sp2.
|
| On our IIS we have only the intranet
|
| I'd like to know what are the inconvenients, and if Xp is better than Win2000
|
| Thanks

You can't go from a server OS to a workstation OS. You have to wipe the system and install
WinXP from scratch !

Because WinXP is not designed to function a server OS, it's limited to
10 simultaneous network connections. This would be woefully inadequate
on any but the very smallest of LANs.
