Use server 2008 as Desktop OS

Is there a desktop experience pack for windows server 2008?
To use server 2008 as a desktop OS?

Tem

Hello Tem,

Why will you spend a lot of money for a Server operating system to use it
as a Desktop? It is made for a lot of difference SERVER operations, NOT for
browsing and writing or playing games. Or do you also buy a Lamborghini for
Stockcar races?

Best regards

Win2008 and Vista SP1 share the SAME KERNEL ;>))

So chipper is better lol

Click On Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Server Manager, Add
Features, And Then Add A Check Mark To Desktop Experience, And Then Click On
The Next Button (Warning: A Reboot Will Be Required, So Save All Your Work
And Close Any Open Programs Before You Attempt To Install Desktop
Experience), After The Reboot is Completed, The Installation Will Resume
Where It Left Off, And You Should Receive A Installed Successfully Message.
Now Open Up The Programs Menu (All Programs If You Are Using The Newer Start
Menu), And You Will Notice That The Following Has Been Installed on Your
Server Operating System That Is Not Included In The Default Install Package:
Windows Mail 6.0.6001.18000, Windows Defender 1.0.1600, And Windows Media
Player 11.0.6001.7000.

Besides installing "Desktop experience". You must start "Themes" Services and
configure by "automatic" start. After that you can change windows clasic
theme for windows vista theme and usage windows 2008 with windows vista
experience.
