why does windows server have classic look
Thanks just became MCSA and wanted to see differences between 03/08.
I going to install servers on my computer instead of desktops because they dont have all the crap on them.
Is there any Way, to install Windows Server 2000/2003 or 2008 on a windows XP PC, so that i can select which Windows i wanna start, please?
Why? Server operating systems aren’t build for running as a desktop OS.
So it is less resource intensive; as well as the fact that aesthetics are not necessary, its only purpose is to serve client computers in an efficient way.
Exactly, and that also makes a faster desktop computer. Without spending half of the day disabling useless services, processes etc…
Why isn’t window server 2008 having the window vista theme?
@LoadupGERProductions yes there is
Ahm, wow but HOW?
@TheKoolboy9999
Windows Server was built off of Vista. Having themes take up resources would be a useless endeavor. The themes is a service, that usually has to be started manually. It for performance purposes on most Windows servers.
Hope I answered you question.
@shilohkin6
The theme service is most likely disabled upon install as default. Besides it being enabled will use more resources thus somewhat defeating the purpose of the OP.
I hope I answered you question.
Yes.Thank you because it’s been in my head for so long
What is windows server 2008 and windows server 2008 r2?
Is there any difference?
He uses it as a desktop operating system because he didn’t wanna run Vista. You just run this and turn the Aeor on.
Can Windows Server run all the applications that Windows XP and Vista due, like autocad and photoshop? My primary reason for getting Server would be for 4 CPU usage for CPU intense applications, since Vista and even 7 only support up to 2 physical CPUs. Basically I would like to know if I can use Server like I can XP or Vista.
@chidercorrect
R2 is only available in 64-bit, adds a few features (like domain caching for enterprises and school districts that run one domain districtwide), and was designed to primarily work with Windows 7 as opposed to Vista (although Windows XP or later clients will still work)
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not running a server but I’m setting one up to learn how to run domains.
Yes
I am in the same situation as you… that’s why I try to inform my self about this OS too, Windows 7 support up to 256 core but only on 2 CPU sockets…. this is soooo STUPID ! I hope this server OS gonna support my 16 cores this time…
16 CORES HOLY SH*T !
server 2008 had only classic theme?
@AlexBestGTA well you can download vista theme thats what i did with my xp pc i call i windows vista xp!lol
