The % of 2K software that works on 2K3 is much higher (probably upper 90's) than software designed for NT 4. The only software I can think of that doesnt run on 2K3 Server is Exchange 2000 server.Originally posted by: Rainsford

I've heard that, but talking about NT to 2003. Only 60% of NT software works on 2003. Haven't heard anything about 2000 software though.
For the record there are many applications that will not allow you to install them on the Windows Server lines because the vendor has a "server version" of their software that they want you to run on your servers. Some more examples of this would be Diskeeper and many Virus Scanners.Originally posted by: toant103

for one thing, partition magic 8, and nikon view 6.0. SOmehting like that. I try running it in compatibility mode but that didn't work either. It would install but still won't work
