One of the links there goes to ExpertExchange and they usually have some good pointers.  One thing that was said is that if you install 2003 first then XP 2003 might not boot anymore.  Make sure you load XP first then 2003.  And of course make sure they are on different partitions.

Different Partitions!? Are you mad!? I want my "Program Files" directory to get so mixed up that the feds can't tell which install it's for!!!

I actually dual booted Windows 98 and win2k and used the same program files directory for each and it did work....Got kinda scary after a while though.

My reasoning is simple.
Server 2003 for a server when i come to the lans.  When im not at the LAn i can use XP and it's a secondary game machine on my home network.
