Windows Builder Au looked closely at Windows Server 2008 and then listed the 10 things about the OS that left an impression on them. They looked at 64-bit compatibility, NT domain migration, and the licensing terms, just to name a few.

...you have to pay a super-premium and go out of your way to get a "server" version of a Windows operating system, just to have less bloat and annoyances, with better performance? As if their prices for their crappy "desktop" versions I've had to put up with for years aren't bad enough.

I always heard good things about the various Windows Server releases, yet I never did (and never will) use it if it requires searching Amazon for a piece of software that costs over a thousand dollars... just to run my machine which, chances are, already includes a *paid* license for Windows.

Pirating? No thanks, I'd rather not support this ripoff company *at all*. No "+1" from me to add to their ridiculously high "number of users" count, whether it's paid for or illegally obtained.
