I would hesitate a little with this definition, as all tasks on a NT system
is an application. :-))
My "definition" of a application server is a machine that runs applications
that are processing stuff, besides file and print services, like an Oracle
database, a news service, a Exchange service, a SQL database etc. In other
words, that runs applications that are to be served to other machines than
itself. If you run Word or Excel on the file server interactively, you don't
have a application server.
