Web servers
Windows2000 Server comes with a free copy of Microsoft's Internet Information Server, which serves both HTTP and FTP. Many people find this server insufficient or inflexible for their uses. And users of the workstation version of NT, or WindowsXP, do not get this free server with their system.
