Hi guys
I know w2008 is a server OS buit it shares (or is it the other way around) the same code base as W7) so anybody testing that out there.
I used to use W2003 server as a worksttation OS -- you had to fiddle around with it a bit to avoid the typical shutdown hassles, messages and prompts you get when shutting down a server and you had to do a few tricks and backporting to get multimedia and games to work but it was a great OS.
Anybody messing around with W2008 to get it to work as a decent workstation OS with games, sound, other multimedia etc. Probably backporting Windows Media Center from a W7 build might work as well. Also does Aero work in W2008 server.
Cheers
