No, it's not "entirely different". It's basically XP with some additional components for server job.
I am running Connect on 2003 just fine. I had to work around the installer check though. Here's what I did:
1) From command prompt or Start-Run, execute "CONNECT Reader Installer.exe" /a. This will extract all the files in the location you choose.
2) Copy the Sony folder from under "program files" in the extracted location into your Program Files directory.
3) If you need to install drivers for Reader, use the ones in Sony\CONNECT Reader\Data\drivers.
4) Make a shortcut to \Sony\CONNECT Reader\Data\bin\CONNECT Reader.exe
