The Issue With Terminal Server: Page 2 of 2

OK, so how did Microsoft go wrong? In two major areas. The first is in pricing, at least for W2K Server. As far as I'm able to figure out, Windows 2003 Server Terminal Server is part of the product.

The second area, which really blows my mind is that Terminal Client runs on almost anything (Windows 95, Windows 98 and 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or Windows XP and Mac), but only Windows 2000 Server (and above), Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP have the Server portion. What about the zillions of people who run Windows 2000 Professional?

What happened to the W2K Professional Server? Where is it? XP has it, why doesn't W2K Professional. Hey, Microsoft: I Want my W2K Professional Terminal Server!
