Very happy to see your Windows 2008 install.

If you have install the DESKTOP EXPERIENCE then please post a screenshot of your desktop with AERO enabled.

Would love to see your desktop with AERO!!

If you like to convert then use this tricks for your version of windows : *www.win2008workstation.com/

Yes. I customised it from win2008workstation.com only.

Also I did a trick. To use the software that work both in XP and Server 2k8 [I have dual OS],for eg Firefox, I just went to the Firefox's program files in XP, and then created a shortcut on my desktop. So no need to install it! Isn't it good?

N drive. lol

Install SP2 btw, if you haven't already. It has some important security updates plus it improved performance, at least for me.

^^ yes I agree.

He has two windows on his computer ---- windows XP and Windows 2008.
I think windows xp is in C: drive but still N: ? is little confusing ?

And he don't wants to download the updates as of now. I think his internet connection limitation is the factor.

Okay. Thanks!

N: because previously it contained all my files (my name started with N, so I kept it that way). Then I installed Server on that drive. Will rename it later...

And he don't wants to download the updates as of now. I think his internet connection limitation is the factor.

Yes. It would take me 3-4 hours to download just SP2, and I'm not going to waste my time on that.
Want to enjoy and explore my new OS as of now...

@ vinnet369: Contact the DreamSpark team and request them for a registration. Even though I didn't have an edu. ID, I sent them an email and they provided me with a link with which I was able to register.

If you are seriously interested in getting the DreamSpark softwares then do the following:

1. Send them an email as @nisargshah95 has suggested.

If in case you do not get the permission from DreamSpark then:

2. then Send me a PM.

^^ Ok.. Thanks for the advices. I just send them the request to get me verified with the help of my university!

Hoping for a positive reply.
Will post as soon as I get a response!

Edit: I'm getting a little excited, and feeling some goosebumps. Is it a good sign!

You shouldn't. Even I didn't. They'll send you a mail along with a link to register yourself. Don't feel goosebumps. It's not worth it (registering, not the OS ).
