Are you talking about themes (in Display properties) or are you talking about the hideous start button (in Taskbar Properties, Start Menu)?

hey,

if you want a better looking ServerOS go with linux!!!

Why is the Sam Hill would you want that fruity interface... its really clunks and it leaves pixels here and there of the start menu all over your screen... it does this even on 2Ghz systems..... too bad I have to use XP to get on the internet... and we dont have much software for our linux machine either... we gotta get some....

oh well.....

go with xp or S03....

youll see you gotta soon pay-per-use-module for everything....

server 2003 is the start of the "PPU" crap from MicroSnot!!!!

i found out that i had a pdf file that showed me how to do it.
you have to enable the themes sevices and do some tweaking like enable voice, and in increase hardware acceleration.

Of course - and anyone with a fleeting familarity with windows would understand that. Still, the big question is WHY??
