Drastic changes

I'm about to do something I never though i'd do. I'm about to reinstall my linux server with windows! The thing is, since I moved my mail and webserver to Textdrive, my own server hasn't been used for anything important. I've used it as an ssh jump station, and as a local file server, but since the hub it's connected to isn't always that stable, it hasn't always been available. Now that I don't work at TDC anymore, I have no need for a jump station, and the file sharing isn't important enough for the server to be on all the time. I do have other services that need to be available all the time, and that is Skype and my iTunes library. Granted, I could install a daapd service on linux that could share my music as an iTunes library, but the Dual phone that my mother-in-law needs to use Skype, won’t work on linux. My plan so far is to install some kind of windows on the same hardware, and see how many services it can manage. It's not exactly a monster computer, so i'm curious as to what i'll be able to install. Since it's going to be a windows server, I need to move it out of the attic, so i'm hoping i'll also be able to install my new DVD-burner in it, so I can finally make DVD backups of my pictures and music. The story will continue, when I actually get windows on the computer...
