Connectivity: W2K Pro vs. XP Pro?

I want to use one of the above as an application server for a few W98 2Ed. boxes. Will either work and which would be easier in this capacity.

I'm considering thin clients.
 
I have used both in the application you require, and cannot really say that one has a big advantage over the other as far as ease of installation and setup.

Give that, I would consider your ability to support either . . . count this for a third of your score. If your main experience is with the Win9X kernel, and zero experience supporting anything in the NT kernel, then XP-Pro would be the easiest to support.

Next, I would consider that XP Pro will have the greater support over a longer period of time . . . but has a higher hardware requirement. Count this for the other two thirds of the score.

I hope this helps.
