Lightbulb XP Pro Vs. MS Server 2003 Enterprise Edition

I'm able to get both versions via my school for free, but I was wondering if there would be really any benifit as to switching from XP Pro SP/2 to 2003 Enterprize Edition. I have a 64 bit process and I know that 2003 can run both the 32 and 64 bit process but I just don't know if i would want to switch.

Any pros and cons you can think of?

Hi Briguy2004,

Which one you use depends entirely on what you want to do with the system. If it is to be used for just personal stuff i.e. web browsing, picture edits, music, you know, normal stuff then definitely stick with XP pro. Server 2003 is very powerful but not really much use for personal computing, so again I would recommend that you stick with XP pro unless you intend to build a serious network at home.
