I dont understand why people are putting a Server grade OS on their desktop PCs to "Play Counter-Strike", I could understand wanting to test active directory on a home network or something like that.
Let me re-repeat for you:
Cuz me wants to play Counter-Strike
This is my regular pc, not a server by any means. I just threw .Net on for the hell of it. It's my comp & I'll do what I want. It was really just a basic question. If you still don't understand, I'm more than happy to re-type the above bold fonts real s-l-o-w.
Well considering that 2003 has more features disabled than XP has enabled, the extra services don't really apply.....
I noticed that

It has considerably fewer default services than Win2K Server too.
