What the heck has that got to do with Windos NT Server and Windows NT desktop having different feartures?

Again, you're going off of what's on the box, not what's under the hood. For example, whether it would support 2 or 32 processors, or 1 or 256 inbound connections, depended on what that registry entry was. Any extra utilities were just applications on top of the same exact OS.

It goes to support my point that there is nothing unusual about a "desktop" OS being based on a "server" OS when in the past they were essentially the same OS anyway.

For NT 4.0 when MS says there are 700 differences between client and server, you'd probably take that list at face value. What you don't know is that making that registry change to the client version caused a cascade of 700 changes to various settings in the OS to turn it into the server version. They were still the same core OS.

And you call me clueless?

Yes.

What does that make you?

Someone who knows my Windows history because I lived it.

Nope.
I am going by what's under the hood of NT Server (DNS Server, Wins Server, DHCP Server etc etc etc), and I was going by what I said in my post, which was, and and I quote:
“NT Server has a heck of a lot more features, that are essential for any server operating system, that NT desktops simply don't have.”

I proceeded to prove that with solid evidence in my last post.
You on the other hand, totally avoided what my post was about, and brought in a link which had nothing to do with what I posted, in effect you wewe answering your own question that you made up yourself to suit your own purposes.
