I get Windows Server 2008 R2 for free through the DreamSpark program, so I thought I could save $30 and use Windows Server as my OS and not get Windows 7. I found this website, which makes it seem like this is a route many people take. What are the advantages / disadvantages of running Windows Server 2008 R2 instead of Windows 7? Are there any features that are missing from the server version that are in the consumer one? (one thing I am worried about is Windows Media Center, which I would really like)
Actually you can turn on Superfetch. And Media Center can be hacked on I'm pretty sure, but I don't know how (another question?) – Isaac Waller – 2009-12-17T01:13:57.003
1oh, i'm sure it has been tried, but so far all attempts have failed. :) – None – 2009-12-17T01:34:31.257
I would consider lack of SuperFetch a bonus! – Lunatik – 2009-12-17T08:53:26.650
