Give Server OSs Some Love :(
Friday, December 4, 2009 by ThoriumKnight | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 (i.e Windows 7 Server). WB doesn't skin anything except for windows that are already open (windows I open AFTER I apply a skin aren't skinned), everything else is classic.

There is no windows experience score in Windows Server 2008 R2, there are no options to view or update it. It seems it just isn't a feature of the server os.

Just my opinion....... but I think the issue would probably fall under the same thing that kept XPx64 from being addressed....the "numbers" are just not there to expend the manhours on development and testing.
I spend maybe 2 hours a week on the server in a bad week.....the majority of the time I just verify backups and look thru the logs to make sure everything's copacetic. I don't personally know anyone who uses it as a workstation OS.
