MS Servers run under Windows 2000/XP or as independant OS?

[Mark Huebner]

I subscribed to Microsoft's Action Pack and they sent me a number of
different servers such as:

MS Windows Server
MS Exchange Server
MS Mobile Information Server
MS Internet Security and Acceleration Server
MS Sharepoint Portal Server
MS Small Business Server
MS Office Project Server
MS Transaction Server

Do these servers install and run under Windows 2000 / XP or do they install
as a separate, independant operating system?

Windows Server and Small business server are "server class" operating
systems.

The other products are server applications, designed to be installed on top
of a server class operating system.

Does Microsoft have any other "server class" operating systems besides these
two?

The current product is Windows Server 2003, which has Standard, Small
Business, Enterprise, Web and Datacenter editions.

The previous server product was Windows 2000 Server, which again had several
editions.

Hope this helps
