Has anybody tried running the new server platform on an M60 or 8600? If so was it a smooth transition or a driver/software configuration hell?

Windows 2003 Server on a M60?

The most important thing is to make sure you actually OWN the copy of server 2003 you are trying to install. If you do, then you probably would not be asking such a question. But, if you must know, the trial version of Win2k3 server installs just fine. There are various guides posted that show you how to make 2k3 server act like a workstation, although it defeats the point. Lastly, if you really want to use your system, leave XP pro on it since some consumer software will not install on 2k3 server since the company would rather have you buy their server version. I hope this is clear.
Maybe I should have put some background info in my original post. I'm looking around at different laptops and was wondering if any of them can run the new OS. I'm a web developer and would rather be running 2003 than XP Pro. I don't have an M60 yet but am looking to pick one up.
I guess I would rather ask to see if somebody has had success installing and getting it configured before trying it myself. Learn from somebody elses pain!
