Windows Server 2003

It is a successor to the Windows 2000 operating system that can be used both as a server and as a workstation, where a conversion may be done (although undesirable at the registry level - you essentially get a bloated XP then) by hand, preferably. The system runs indeed smoothly, but only if a person knows what he is doing. The system is more picky on various drivers' defects, so one has to adjust for example the service "Start" type from Auto (2) to On demand (3). The system also accepts nearly all Windows XP drivers (the Compatibility tab helps to the rest) so that no faux-pas seen on the Windows XP rise vs. older hardware can surprise you. You can download a Service Pack 1 for this system and integrate it into your installation to fix many bugs and enable the NX bit-based buffer overrun protection.
To return to the conversion to a desktop environment, I recommend tweaking in gpedit.msc a lot and copy nusrmgr.cpl from Windows XP to simplify the user management. You use the said Group Policy Editor to remove the "Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete" nag screen, remove the asking for the reason for shutdown etc.
Right now, I'm running many services and applications on my Windows Server 2003 box. They include all of the common internet services - the web, secure HTTP, FTP, DNS, DHCP, NAT routing with port forwarding and countless small ones. As for the user interface (UI), I use StyleXP. All "serious" applications work, I can play GTA:SA, DOOM 3, Manhunt, Postal 2 and most other such games under this OS.

Severus Snape

Severus Snape is the Potions teacher of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is also the head of Slytherin, and notorious for hating any house but his own, especially Gryffindor, and especially Harry Potter, the title character of the widely popular series.

Severus is described to be tall and lanky, have sallow, tired skin, greasy black hair, moustache, and goatee, and to be, well, batlike and quite ugly in general. He was widely hated by all Potter fans until Alan Rickman came along. Alan Rickman, a very suave, graceful man with a silky British voice, was cast to play Severus in the movies. When our sexy-for-a-sixty-year-old friend suddenly appeared, Severus went from being loathed, to an object of greatness for some.

Most of these 'some' are ditzy fangirls, who often have sexual fantasies about Severus, or write fanfiction about his gay and/or illegal relationships with other characters or themselves. The other small percentage of this category just think he's awesome, has a cool voice/accent, and has had a sucky life. Those few also believe that he does not deserve to have fangirls clinging to his robes every second, letting out ear-shattering squeals of fangasming.
Severus Snape: "I am Professor Snape, the Potions Master."
Fangirl: "SQUEE! I can has yoo do secksiness with Harry andz Draco plz?"
Severus: "I am sorry. I do not speak fangirl. Ten points from Gryffindor."
Fangirl: "OHEMSQUEE!"
Cool Person: "Oh my fricken' gawd shut the hell up!"

Severus runs away as the Cool Person whips out a chainsaw and battles the merciless Fangirl to the death, but not before rewarding the Cool Person with a galleon.
Cool Person: Thanks Severus!
Severus shouts back while running away, "Don't spend it all in one place!"
