While most of the media attention is focused on the latest service pack for Windows XP, some folk it would seem are getting pretty irrate over the state of Win2k3.
Source: TheInquirerAmong the list of about a dozen faults, found include the fact that the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol cannot operate on a DC as there are authentication errors. Terminal Server Manager can only manage the local server, not other terminal servers. Win2k3 terminal services have a number of significant performance issues. There is an unexplained system slowdown and https web availability is intermittent.
"The LPD service does not accept jobs, because it considers them improperly formatted. Visual Source Safe refuses to work with Legato Networker backup. The vss bug list is VERY Long," he claimed.

"At the moment, until a service pack is released, I can not recommend win2k3 for anything more than file and DC services. For all else, use win2k," he said.
