Vista and Server 2000

I work for a small library and am about to order a new laptop for the
director. Since Vista is now available, I am not sure what to get. All
of the other machines we have are XP Pro. and we probably will not be
upgrading any time soon. So, I can either get a new laptop with XP
Pro. or keep moving ahead and get Vista Business.

But, my big concern is this. In the near future, we might get a server
donated to us. It has MS Server 2000 on it and I am not sure yet if it
can handle Server 2003. There is a lot of unknown factors here.

What I am trying to figure out is if anyone has had any problems with
Vista and Server 2000 compatibility.

Thank you very much.

Vista should works with Windows 2000 DC. Vista adds more features such as security and IPv6 so that the settings may be different from previous OS.
