Anyone using Server 2008 on thier desktop?

[Glass]

I do not like Vista. I hear that Server 2008 runs DX10 I am assuming some folks on here run this on thier desktop? Or am I just talking stupid.

I haven't tried it but I have read this...

...it seems to cover the steps needed to 'convert' it suitable for desktop use.

Probably.
I've heard enough people moaning about the price of Vista.
You got a spare £400+ for Server 2008 for your workstation?

Yes I use it.
Totally stable & very very fast compared to vista on the same hardware which is just unusable garbage.
I dont game on it though, never tried. Always boot back into xp for that, must try sometime..
