Again, you're going off of what's on the box, not what's under the hood”

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.

Not even close. That a proven registry entry will switch it from client to server destroys any argument you may have. The rest is just added software components, not the core OS. Guess what, my basic Windows XP install will run DNS if I install some DNS software.

Your claim: Vista was a re-write of XP. Re-write can only refer to the code, not how it is marketed.

The truth: Vista was an evolutionary update of the Server 2003 code.

The subject is your incredulity that a client OS (Vista) could be based on a server OS (2003). I have proven that Vista was based on 2003. Windows NT was only an example of how the client and server OSs can be essentially the same in the face of your denial.
