Changing a 2000 Advanced Server

more than anything because the physical server is more than amortized, there are no longer spare parts for it and I have a server for virtual machines touching noses.
Let's see where those who say that windows have to be restarted once a month and reinstalled every year are xDDD

It's not bad at all, but playing devil's advocate (or is it the other way around?) I would ask how many Ares, eMules, first_program_that_catches_it_I_install has installed and how many loosers touch it ;), although a well-trained loser can bring up a blue screen on a Spectrum :sisi:

Windows would be a curious OS if, even in the hands of a system administrator, it had to be formatted periodically.

obviously none ;-). It's a terminal server application server and users only run the application they need, nothing more. I say we changed it because it's a server with a dual xeon PIII 1GHz that obviously is no longer under warranty and the last power supply change cost €600 because there are no spare parts.

the thing is that it's just as rare to find a Windows administrator who doesn't work with a user with admin-like permissions as it is to find a Linux administrator who works as root and obviously that makes Windows more prone to breaking due to the natural clumsiness of the human being :wall:

Without a doubt, if in Windows we had the habit of working with a normal user and only using the administrator for what is really necessary there would be many fewer problems, although the truth is that Windows has improved a lot in that aspect and I am delighted with Windows 7 (and with Linux Mint 13 Mate ;D).
