    Think Windows Messanger Doesnt install when u install windows 2003 server.

    Love that system, cos it has none of the junk u want installed, but i had a few problems running games on it, but its a good OS :D

    Looks like that stops net send :) we always have fun at small lan parties bombing each other with net send batch file bombs.
    of course I cant bomb, But I'll have other means.
