a. Possibly, testing is often performed on Windows.

b. Probably not - but possibly.

Basically, you need to try it yourself as no-one here will have been developing with that outcome in mind.

If you join Mattermost where the devs normally reside, then you may obtain a more direct response.

if I remember correctly some components of ReactOS have been tested on Windows Server 2003 replacing the Windows version with the ReactOS version I will need to find the news articles if I find the news articles I will update my post

if you have a copy of Windows Server 2003 It may work with this version
