The pro-MS argument here is that Win2K Pro/Server support up to 4G,
whereas you can completely reinstall your machine entirely with
AdvServer and get 8G.

Seeing as Linux supports 64G, and we (Server Appliance Developers)
routinely recompile the kernel to handle only the specific feature set
we need, this strikes me as easier than having to reinstall the entire
operating system...
