I'm not sure what the purpose of that little rant was or where you got that
marketing paragraph you pasted (apparently the Dell web site??), but your
answer is here: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=810613

> More than half of the Windows server installed base is already running the
Windows 2000 Server OS. Windows 2000 Server on PowerEdge servers provides a
reliable and scalable platform that allows organizations to leverage the
planning and development that they put into their Windows 2000 migration
should they elect to migrate to Windows Server 2003 at a later date.

Server 2003 to determine whether it better meets their IT and business
needs. From a Windows 2000 Server environment, an upgrade to Windows Server
2003 is relatively straightforward-the most time-consuming work having been
accomplished in the migration to Windows 2000 Server. Therefore,
organizations can upgrade to Windows Server 2003 without great effort.
