Installing WinXP over Windows Server 2003

Is it possible to install WinXP over Windows Server 2003? I don't really want to reconfigure a lot of programs that would have to be reinstalled with a format if it's avoidable.

    What were you using Windows Server 2003 for that you want to replace it with Windows XP? *boggle*

    And that'd be a no.

    Yeah, that seems to be the conclusion I've found.

    I'm not using the web hosting features any more and wanted it to go to sleep and just wake on lan when the shares are accessed. Win2k3 doesn't have the sleep feature, unfortunately.

    Makes sense, but if you're only using it for file sharing, what programs are you going to have issues with reinstalling after an OS-wipe?

    Oh, I have an IMAP server as well, but that's third party.
