We have several W2K machines that we want to use as web servers (using ISM,
..NET web applications, etc...)
We prefer NOT to upgrade to W2K Server. There shouldn't be more than 10-20
users at any given time on the website.
1. Will W2K handle this? Can I use it as a web server?
2. If a user "connects" to get the webpage I realize this is a very quick
action. Does W2K "free up" the user slot as soon as the page is served up?
Thanks,

So, I assume that a user is considered "concurrent" only for the split
instant when he requests the page from the server, then the server gives him
the page. At that time it's not considered a "concurrent" user anymore.
Right?

Not necessarily. A session and a user are also related. If you have 10
sessions active, the 11th user will not be able to gain access to the site
(I think it returns a server too busy message, but I forget)

A version of Server should suffice. No need for Advanced; definitely not
Datacenter (I think thats what its called)
anyway, as far as "cheap" - server is not something you can simply buy off
the shelf at Best Buy or Circuit City. You will have to shop around, and
make sure you get it from a reputable company so you dont have to worry
about piracy complications.

I know Windows 2000 allows 10 concurrent users. I've seen "Windows 2000
SERVER (5-client)" for sale for like $900. Am I right that this means it
has LESS concurrent users allowed (only 5)? Why would I pay more for 1/2 of
the users?
Is this the cheapest, legit way of running a web server? Doesn't make
sense.

Isn't Web the most limited ? You are not even allowed to run SQL on it.
I'd be careful with that version, get Standard instead.

Quite honestly, if you just want to run a webserver, using Linux/Apache
is not only the cheapest, it's likely the best performing (for the type
of computer architecture you're talking about).
And for the record, I am NOT some sort of anti-MS basher. I simply
believe in using the right tool for the job.

There is currently no software that runs ASP.NET or webservices

The Chilisoft ASP is just classic ASP and bad at that as well.
