I have tried Server 2003 as a workstation for a few weeks, and while it is extremely stable, its main disadvantage is that it requires "Professional" i.e. expensive antivirus software- normal AV software such as Norton, AVG, Avira etc won't install on it- which is why I stopped using it. Apart from that, I prefer it to XP- i't's an updated W2000 without XP's clutter.
IL2:1946 will install and run, but I didn't play it very often on 2003 before removing it.
