Other than NTFS (on server 2003) won't let you extend a volume without corruption?  Or the amazing intermittent functionality of Microsoft's MPIO?  Or perhaps just the $250 per incident (call India, get transferred to Bangladesh, then to a page turner, then finally {after sending every possible dump log known to man} getting to work with a developer?

I'm just saying...and this was just this week.

I know this is a Linux users group but what's the need to get rid of Server
2003?
