Air will run XP and Vista fine, they are really good machines.

by Server, what do you mean? Some servers are just for internet, but some are files etc.

If its files, your dad needs to find out what OS its running, as im pretty sure Mac's cannot talk to Windows Servers for some reason.

Probably all wrong lol :p
