Thanks for that tip Jason 
For anyone that want to test fly Windows Server 2008 RTM, MS has downloads availble for a 60 day (+ extendable to 240 days) trial.
Windows Server 2008 Standard |

Added how to turn Windows Defender OFF and how to disable Password expirey. In Windows Server 2008 one doesn't get the red Security Centre warning icon popping on to the task bar like one does in Windows Vista when turning defender off.

I have installed on VMWare in Vista. However, my 2008 is valid only for few days.
Is it cracked and full version?
Your response is appreciated

The trial is suppose to last 60 days I thought, then to extend it you need to use the MS tip on the 'Rearm' tweak.

Laptop I don't know, try it
Or maybe someone else here has done that?
I am quad booting Server 2008 w/ 2- Vista x86 & XP on the test rig ATM so I know it can be dual+ booted.

If the laptop is Vista-compatible, you should be able to install the 2k8 yes  |

As far as I know there aren't any because servers usually don't require them, but you should be able to use the Vista ones.
