There is nothing that specifically stops you from using Windows XP as a server. However, the TCP/IP stack has been "crippled" to limit the number of simultaneous connections, ostensibly to prevent the spread of malware. This would stop you from effectively using a Windows XP as a large-scale server. There are patches to improve such functionality.
