The same kernel.  NT 5.2.

Sure it is.

anon@lowtide:~/code$ cat NT-5.2.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
 printf("BLAHMAX: %d\n",BLAHMAX);
 return 0;
}
anon@lowtide:~/code$ gcc -Wall -DBLAHMAX=100 -o XP NT-5.2.c
anon@lowtide:~/code$ ./XP
BLAHMAX: 100
anon@lowtide:~/code$ gcc -Wall -DBLAHMAX=10000 -o Server2003 NT-5.2.c
anon@lowtide:~/code$ ./Server2003
BLAHMAX: 10000

Different installed utilities does not make a different OS, unless
you think that a Debian base installation is a somehow a different
OS after running apt-get a few times.

Licensing differences do not make a different OS.
"Windows XP x64" is a workstation license for NT 5.2.
"Windows Server 2003" is a server license for NT 5.2.
