I got my single G5 Xserve today.
benchmark results here: (looks like I'm the first true Xserve G5-computer name is 'media').

Beat up on a bunch of Dual G4s
Came pretty close to the Dual G5s
And it owned that little G3 @ 900mhz
What do you think about it? Have you been happy with the performance? How are you using it?
It's gonna be doing light duty web, database, and streaming media services on our intranet...plus and Mac-related IT stuff (creating/serving netboot images). At some point, I might try getting it to handle making all network logins the same on Windows and Mac. By the way, does anyone have any idea how to do that?

I'm assuming since it's an xServe it came with OS X server. That should take care of network boots and things like that. Read the stuff that came with OS X server and set up from there.

You can have your Mac users log in with a server based account (as opposed to local accounts). Now if you're saying you have the Windows user login via Active Directory and want to integrate the Mac users into the AD, you can do that too, but it's a bit more complex.
Go here.
