Changing Windows Server 2008 to be more like a workstation

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

For a while, I've been thinking of upgrading my main development PC, but now that Windows Server 2008 is out, I've started to think whether Windows Server 2008 would be better suited to my needs than the normal Windows Vista operating system. As I don't play games much, I don't mind minimal support for such software/gear. Now, on the other hand, Windows Server 2008 would run faster (or need less hardware, whichever is your point of view) and also have full-blown IIS 7.0 web server.

I today noticed a nice web site called Win2008Workstation, which contains information about how to "convert" your Windows Server 2008 server to a decent, or even pretty slick workstation. I confess I like the idea!
