      The new 2003 server I stood up on modern hardware and SSDs was blazing.

      I know ML loves the latest and greatest, but 2003 was a good OS. Still is, security patches notwithstanding.

      It was mediocre. It was slow and lacked key features even in its heyday. It was the last of the NT5 line and did okay. 2003 R2 was a big better, 2003 was meh. It only seemed good because 2000 had been so horrible.

        I spun up a 2012 R2 box and a 2003 box this evening for a test.

        Identical VM specs, ram, CPU the lot.

        Man oh man is that 2003 box slow. The 03 box was still shutting down by the time the 12 box had restarted and come back.

          Yeah, 2003 was not all that great. Neither were 2000, 2008 and 2008 R2. But NT 4 and 2012 and later were quite good.

            Alright, people.

            It's all I have for now.

            Have pity on me!

            I do have 2012 and 2016 trial servers set up, so at least there is that.

              Could be worse... I guess. 😛
