So he's installed Windows Server 2000, to support a million dollar printer from the 90's, and the software is 16-bit and doesn't seem to work on XP.
Um wtf is wrong with this, anyone else see the issue?

Nope, ACPI for Win2K, no more IRQ conflicts.
Without knowing how it's doing what it's doing, could be tons of reasons. Especially with very little changing between 2K and 2K3/XP. Probably don't know deep Winders stuff.

This whole thread should be nuked off ML as self abuse
It's no different than "Why are you hitting yourself" to yourself.

It completely is, but we are avoiding the threads or posts about the incredibly insane posts.

Yeah.... I think one is more "oh you thought that you could avoid a best practice, here is why you should not do that, look at these people thinking that that was not a big deal..."
And this one is more "WTF FFS SMH"

Just people selling equipment because they are partnered with a supplier.
Nothing new, what is scary though is that the OP hasn't even begun to do his research. Has a meager 40GB of data, and believes he needs to move it to a server, and asking for recommendations..

On a budget that won't even fit the Server Standard license + CALS they'd need as well.

Wow, that guy is hamstrung by the low budget.
Sounds like a company that just wants to play at business, as Scott would say.

So Scott, whT do you think they should do?
From an app perspective, it seems like running the app on a desktop assuming they can't move it to Linux.

Not enough info to know what to do. We don't know if they can replace the expensive requirements with something sensible or not.
Running on a desktop isn't viable, you aren't licensed to use a desktop as a server. Chances are the fix is to replace the manager making non-viable financial decisions.

It got featured in something today that I actually looked at, and then regretted looking at it. Almost posted to it, but looked at the date before I started typing, thankfully.
