My tester friend MSMANIAC has just told me that Windows .NET Server Build 3716 is now available for download. His MS buddies sent him and a few 100 other select testers notice of this in between build. This is likely the last "interim" before RC2 and the long awaited Server Release of Windows 2002 (now called Windows 2003). Here are some notes from the email:

We are pleased to offer this build for download from http://windowsbeta.microsoft.com. This is an interim build between RC1 and RC2 and is not considered "Beta quality". This build is intended as a preview of our progress towards RC2 and to allow you to regress bugs fixed since RC1. We do not require that you install this build. If you choose to install this build it is recommended that you back up all data and configuration information prior to installation.

You are correct, but with XP released in Oct 2001 it was planned for the Server version to release shortly afterwards, there was no name announced at that time, it was still called Whistler Server, many people (including Neowin) speculated on Windows 2002 Server. Paul Thurrott even had an image of that name for a while. So even if it wasn't "official" we knew it at one point as Windows 2002 Server (I'm pretty sure that word cropped up some at MS too at the time) PS: Welcome to Neowin

It has all of what Windows XP has and more (latest versions of all its "client software") the difference is, it's all disabled at default. One can also do this with Windows XP Home or Pro. It has Themes, Visual Styles, Media Player, Messaging Software, Audio, DirectX -all that bloatware everyone talks of. Its just "off"
