I needed a media player and chose smplayer.

I then had to use the Mobility Modder software to install updated drivers for my Radeon 3650, which went absolutely smoothly. I found out that I needed to install the software from Synaptics (manufacturers of touchpads) which disables the cursor while typing. I noticed when I was typing a lot that the cursor would randomly reposition, and I was unsure why. Anyway.Īfter getting the system setup and usable, I had to install my applications and drivers and such.

However this is expected from someone who use a server OS just to be different, doesn’t understand what managed code means or what a system exception is and doesn’t seem to understand the the concept of graphics drivers. Unfortunately there are a few idiots around who make claims such as we need 8GHz computers today and technology has not improved from 10 years ago and 32bit software is considerably less stable on a 64bit CPU. I highly recommend the site and forum for anyone interested in trying out a server OS as a desktop OS. Much of the stuff is obvious such as turning of the shutdown tracker or enabling themes, however it was still quite nice to have a checklist with instructions. The first thing I did was go to I remember an equivalent website existing for Windows Server 2003 which was quite useful, and the updated guide for R1 and R2 equally so. While it would seem there would not be much advantage to running R2 over 7 in general, the fact that I wanted to become more familiar with the AD and Hyper-V enhancements sealed the deal. While not terribly advanced, it allows for simple rules to be created which is more than the deny or allow approach on the consumer OS’s. Another feature I quite like on the server versions of Windows is the advanced firewall. For people who do get a benefit from those technologies it might be worthwhile to stay with 7, or checkout R1 if a server OS is still desired. Additionally Firefox and Games would not benefit from SuperFetch or ReadyBoost, so nothing is really lost. This does not really concern me, as my laptop tends to stay on pretty much permanently except when I am on the move.

Unlike with R1, support is removed completely and it is impossible to patch it in. Windows has matured a lot in the last few years.Īlso missing from R2 is support for ReadyBoost and SuperFetch. In theory 7 is a far far better desktop operating system as you can make it just as slim and minimalistic as a server OS, while retaining its optimizations for games and desktop applications. As such there are no technical improvements in R2 over 7, rather it is all a matter of configuration or functionality.

Windows 7 and R2 were developed in unison from the same codebase. For Windows 7 and R2 however, this is no longer true. I believe the situation was similar with R1 and Vista, with R1 being released slightly after and having a slightly improved kernel, none of the problems that were attributed to vista and substantially less cruft. I also liked the fact that it was minimalistic with only the necessary services enabled by default and allowed for more configuration than XP did. Windows Server 2003 was then released which had an updated kernel to that which shipped with XP making it slightly faster. Back in the early 2000’s, I ran Windows 2000 for a long time because I appreciated its speed and elegant presentation, in contrast to the fisher-price monstrosity that was XP. I recently acquired a new laptop of my own after not having had one for a while and was interesting to see the developments made in the recently released R2. For the last six months or so I have been using Windows Server 2008 R2 as my primary desktop OS.
