What if you’re happy with how Windows Vista works and looks, but are frustrated with the slow performance and instability? Well here’s a crazy idea: transform a Windows Server 2008 to your very own Vista Workstation! This’ll give you the advantage of a stable computer (after all, it’s a server OS), with the ease and comfort of windows Vista.
The people over at Win208Workstation.com have provided just the guide to do so.
It seems like a very logical thing to do. A server operating system was built with stability in mind, it shouldn’t crash, require reboots or experience slow performance after a while. Well, a workstation OS shouldn’t either – but it just seems less important as you’ll probably reboot your computer once a day (shutdown at night).
So you have a stable operating system, designed to never crash and never slow down. It seems like a win-win situation. But why didn’t they design Vista to be like this in the first place?

I have just installed Server 08 onto my old Toshiba M200 Tablet Notebok to test it out as a workstation. My first impressions are pretty good. Very stable!
