Windows 2000 Server named peak Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 was the best Windows by far. All of the good parts of NT/2000 with any parts of XP available when you needed them.

Except that AFAIK 2003 kernel was different enough that a few apps and specially games refused to run, properly or at all, compared to XP.

No too many, and lots actually run without any issues by using compatible mode.

Cannot agree more. Used Windows Server 2003 for over a decade, until I moved away from desktop to laptop and started having driver issues.

I agree here. I ran server 2003 on my early 2000's desktop for a while.
