You can make a server with anything...

install apache and if your up speed is decent, you can give them your IP and it'll index all the files you have in htdocs.

If they can't install the apps then you need to setup terminal services. As for 2003 or 2008 - if your PC has the muscle (dual core 2+ gig Ram) go with 2008

EDIT: this also means your PC has to be online whenever your friends need to run the application(s)
