One reason you won't find much support (from MS or Vendors) for things like
graphics and sound is that a presumption is that most users will use the
server OS on machines that are used as servers; where good graphics and
sound are rarely used. I'm running 2008 as my desktop OS as after trying
all the OS versons. 2008 is (too me) noticably crisper. While some drivers
are available for 2008 (very few though) often you can get a vista driver to
work. I wouldn't expect to see much support directly for '08 in many areas.
In fact, in areas where you expect to see strong support it is often
lacking. For example, I can't 2008 on a RAID 10 array with the new AMD
Chipset on a new ASUS board because 2008 will only let you use certified
drivers and there are none (That I can find after weeks of searching and
trying anything remotly close). I'm dual booting now so I can get
performance when I need it and play games when I want to.
Good luck on your search.

We have only widescreen monitors now and I'm installing 2008. I'm amazed
that
it doesn't seem to have generic support for widescreens and only goes up
to
1280x1024. Also, there seems to be no provsion to prevent the screen from
stretching the none widescreen image thus distorting it.
We have viewsonics and their drivers do not run on 2008 so I'm now stuck
with this horrible to read image on the screen.
Does anyone know of a way around this?
Many thanks
