Now that we've got this clear, here are the rest of the changes you will have to make in order to transform Windows Server 2003 into a workstation:

1. Enable Hardware Acceleration in the Advanced tab of the Display Properties.

2. Download and install DirectX 9a. Load "dxdiag" from the command line and enable OpenGL and Direct3D. If you don't do that, you won't be able to play 3D games.

3. Don't forget to create a user account. Add yourself in to the administrator group if you want to use the OS more freely.

4. Disable that nerve-wrecking shutdown Tracker which doesn't let you shutdown or reboot the machine whenever you want (for security reasons that you don't need it on a workstation)

5. Disable Internet Explorer Hardening. God, this one sucks until you get all these options right. With the security measures Microsoft has taken in this version, not even OSNews is not allowed to load on IE. Not even google.com. You will have to modify the preferences of IE and tell it to not be so paranoid about security...

6. Go to your System Properties, Advanced and click the Performance Settings. Tell it to adjust for best appearance. On the same panel, click on the Advanced tab and tell it to adjust best performance for "Programs" instead of the default values (which mostly favor server performance).

7. Enable Audio. By default, Windows Server 2003 has sound disabled. To do so, just go to the audio control panel and check the radio button there. After you do that, go to Advanced tab and enable full acceleration for the audio.

8. Enable the Theme service and tell it to autostart at each reboot, otherwise you won't be able to use themes or the Luna interface (I noticed a slight drop of performance (e.g. when rendering web pages with IE) after switching to the heavier Luna).
