I want to use this version for my pc, is it nice or should work on a server, is it the same as windows 7 except the UI?
Can you advice?

I used Windows Server 2008 as a workstation for about 6 months and was satisfied with it for the most part with one caveat. Many applications require you to purchase their "server" versions. The normal "workstation" versions won't work. Of course, the server versions cost anywhere from 3 to 10 times as much.
If you're willing to pay the premium for some server applications, then go for it.
