On: Windows XP source code has leaked

Don't forget Windows 2003 Server in that list. That, to me, was the ultimate Windows. Had the XP stuff, but with the ugly theme disabled by default. Was super stable even compared to Windows 2000. Was lightweight. Only annoying thing was it came with sound disabled, but a few clicks in the Control Panel after installing, and you were golden.

That theme was wonderful in gray/olive variant if you ask me. It looked polished.

Amen. Windows 2003 Server was perfect.

And contrary to consumer versions, free trial was available!

And, you could also get a free license through university (MSDN AA). That's how I got to run mine.
