Tutorial: How to set up Windows Server 2008 for workstation use (transform it into Vista)

Описание к видео Tutorial: How to set up Windows Server 2008 for workstation use (transform it into Vista)

Well for the sake of people that are still clinging onto Vista and do not desire to use a newer OS, I made this tutorial on how to make Server 2008 a workstation-capable OS.
What are the benefits of using this over Vista?
Well, Windows Server 2008 will be supported 3 years longer than Vista, which means it will be supported until 2020, whereas Vista is only supported until 2017.
Also, Windows Server 2008 has been a much better performer than Vista for me, even with all the client features turned on, and it also uses little RAM by comparison. So moving to Server 2008 may very well boost the performance of your PC, and there's a highly noticeable performance boost if you're using an SSD (at least there was in my case).
UPDATE February 2017 - Download Windows Server 2008 all in one ISO: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...
Need help preparing your installation media?
If you want to burn your ISO to a DVD and install from there, use a program called ImgBurn.
If you would like to create a bootable USB flash drive to perform the installation, use Rufus.
Download Imgburn:http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=...

NOTE: I take absolutely no credit whatsoever for the compilation of the Windows Server 2008 to workstation converter tool. Information about the real creator is located in the About section of the program. If you are the creator and are watching this video and would like me to remove your application from the pack, feel free to ask and I will do so upon request, and I apologize if I angered you.

For snipping tool, I have seemed to make a slight error in the instructions. Here's what they're supposed to say:
1.Create a new directory in C:\, SnipTool, and C:\SnipTool\en-US
2.Copy SnippingTool.exe to SnipTool
3.Copy SnippingTool.exe.mui to SnipTool\en-US
4.Copy attached slc.dll to SnipTool directory (use the one in x86 folder for 32 bit, or the one in x64 folder for 64 bit)
As for activation, the converter tool will allow you to reset it once the timer runs out.
There's also another tool available called Windows Loader which will activate it forever, but I will not give links nor will I include it, as I do not want to get in trouble for it (google it).
Well, thanks for watching, and please subscribe if you enjoy my content. More videos will be coming soon.
P.S.: I apologize for the slow and jumpy mouse movement in some parts, VMware Tools causes the mouse pointer to glitch in and out constantly when using it in the VM, so it was hard to keep it steady and as a result I sometimes unintentionally clicked on things I didnt mean to.
EDIT:
Well as always I've left some things out by mistake.
Windows Server 2008 Requires you to change your password every 40 days, if you do not want this feature, here's how to turn it off: http://www.adminsehow.com/2010/03/how...
