Windows InfoWorld's Randall Kennedy has been using a converted Windows Server 2008 as his primary OS since hitting a wall using Vista as a Visual Studio development platform four weeks ago. According to Kennedy, the guerrilla 'Workstation' 2008 OS has turned his Dell notebook into a well-oiled machine that never gets sluggish and rarely needs to reboot. Those interested in making the switch should check out win2008workstation.com, a clearinghouse for 'Workstation' 2008 tips and techniques. Kennedy also offers a link to a Windows 2008 Workstation Converter utility for quick conversion.

BeOS is definitely faster but because I am running pretty decent hardware I have a feeling that could possibly negate it? ;)

But all kidding aside, I have heard legendary things about BeOS and have never really bothered doing much research about it. When you say BeOS you mean Haiku right?

No, I mean BeOS ;) My old tower still runs BeOS R5 with updates.

As for faster hardware negating it... The faster the machine, the faster BeOS ;)

I was just joking about older revisions and such always running smoother ;)
