Those are the same article and it's a Knowledge Base article - it was published on 1st June 2002 - that is well before Windows Server 2003 shipped.

The article is simply badly edited from a previous Windows Advanced Server 2000. I can't find the marketing for 2000 but this wikipedia explains it perfectly -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2000.

There was never ever ever a Windows Advanced Server 2003 released - ever.

And for proof just read Microsoft's own marketing site -> http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsserver/evaluate/features/compare.mspx

Or, like Denial Again, do you put a single KB article above what MS's own marketing site states?

But, back to my point....

You'd have thought somebody who is a system builder would be fully versed in what OS version and editions his chosen product expertise works on.
