By default NONE, however some points are subjective such as security as with many 3rd party tool can make Server 2003 also a very secure system :)

read more about the points one by one as its bit of details are given in the page also :)

+1 to Choto Cheeta :)

First 6 of these no doubt set the OS apart from 03. Rest as Choto said, can be subjective.
BTW i also count default availability of Powershell as a +. Its a very powerful, multipurpose tool.

Why debate. Just download the Windows Server 2008 trial and see.
