It's cludgy, unreliable and highly vulnerable to security breaches; for much less money there are far more intelligent choices.

Surprising Reliability
A lot of people like to make negative comments about Microsoft's Product Reliability, but let me tell you, I installed this piece of software for my small business and Wow!!! Everything is running smooth. We are getting far more done than we previously did with that "open source" Linux Nonsense. I haven't had any problems as of yet! Microsoft says up-time of five nines, but I say 100% !!!

Rocks - build web server with it NOW!
Has everything you need for a small to medium size web site: Web, DNS, SMTP, FTP,etc. Speed is phenomenal. NEVER goes down!!

Slow but steady.
So far, I'm impressed with 2000's stability, although it is EXTREMELY slow. I am running it on a GHZ Athlon with 655MBpc133 so it's kinda strange that it runs so slow. I am slowly learning about the various tools that it comes with, and most of it is reletively intuitive.
I am slightly puzzled by a few features, but tutorials online are easy to find.
Personally, I am impressed by the framerate that I get in benchmarking utilities, if not in the OS.

All in all, If you are in need of an overly expensive operating system that WILL NOT DIE, It's great. Otherwise, avoid it like the plauge.

What a great OS!
I upgraded to this from Windows 98, and I never had experience running a server before. From the moment I put in the CD I knew I would love this OS. It is very easy to use, and within a day I had a http and ftp server running perfectly (I had no experence setting them up before). This OS is also much more stable than Win 95/98/ME. It has only crashed on me a few times in 4 months! The only bad thing about this OS is that it can not run any DOS program, so this is not the ideal OS for old skool gamers. All in all this OS is definetly worth the price.
