Default New to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition

My mother has worked in the software industry for years and at a trade show she picked up Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition as a freebie. It includes a CD and a product key. Here is what I want to know about it.

1. Is it the full fledged thing, or just a little demo they sometimes hand out?
2. Can it be installed and dual booted with Vista x64 on the computer in my sig, without effecting my installation of Vista?
3. Does it run like a normal windows OS that I am used to, I.E. can I do things like play/run L4D servers and install programs I use on Vista?
4. Anything else you would like to add.

I know i sound like a total n00b but thanks for any replys, greatly appreciated and Rep+

There is really no way to tell, I would assume that it is the full fledged product.

Yes, if you do it correctly.

With a little tweaking, yes. There are numerous guides on how to use Windows Serer 03 as a workstation. Just like Server 08.

Google is your friend.
