Hello,
Just about everything MS doesn't enable in 2008 such as sidebar, live mail etc all work on Windows 2008 - but without the slow performance of Vista. I have the install disc for Vista and a valid license. If anyone figures a way to get media center working on this great OS please let me know. A lot of people who have tried out Win2k8 as a desktop seem very happy and even though I really really really didn't like Vista because of the slow performance, I have to admit 2008 seems to do everything Vista SP1 does but at the speed of XP. Thanks |

Hello boe,
If you disable a lot of the WORKSTATION features that a lot people like to have, VISTA will be also faster. So use a server for that it is made.

Thanks - so far I've got just about everything turned on - aero interface,
gadets/sidebar etc and it is running great as a desktop OS! I tried Vista and it was sluggish - my CPU was always running high - Vista uses up more memory than XP but CPU and everything else are doing great. I LOVE not having a reminder every time I boot that I turned off UAC!
