Dude, the Xserve is meant for a business environment. They are not going to get cheap enough to be commonly available, nor would they be marketed that way if they were, nor do people need that much power at home. If they do, they can get a nice, beefy Mac Pro without all the server crap.
I remember being told a story about a guy who called Dell, told them he wanted to share files between his computers, and they sold him to a PowerEdge server.

Holy Sh*t! Dell sold the guy into slavery under a computer? That sets it in stone: My next computer WILL be an iMac. I’m telling all my friends not to even look up Dell’s number and have them block dell.com with their router.
If I were put in charge of managing a large network I would probably use SuSE Enterprise Server or XSERVE. Both solutions seem to be more capable than W2K3 and you can get unlimited CALs, which is the way it should be.
