@Charlie Re: "unfixable on Server 2003."
Read the EULA, it absolves MS of any liability. It also states in weasel words that MS do not guarantee that their software will work in the way expected or indeed at all.
MS have been crafting broken code since DOS. There is a reason no class action has been brought against MS for providing unfit for purpose software.... I refer you to the previously mentioned EULA.
