I want to install Win XP (rebuild my win2k server box). Unfortunately, I just read that MS SQL Server 2000 will not run (server components) on XP Pro. I have heard that the 'server' version of xp will work however. Someone said elsewhere that XP Advanced Server beta 2 works. Anyone know where i can get more info on xp server beta 2?

The server equivalents of Windows XP is Windows .NET. Since the server versions are still in development you might want to look at other solutions, such as Windows 2000 or even Windows NT4.

You can find info about .NET and related software at msdn.microsoft.com.
