I love Windows Server 2008, but there's one aspect about it that continues to bug me: the arrangement of the logout options.
I feel whoever came up with this arrangement was taking Opposite Day a little too serious.
For those who have still not witnessed this amazing UI layout, let me show you it:
Figure 1-1: No Log Off button :-(
Figure 1-2: Log Off is positioned as far as possible from the last click
In Figure 1-2, the other options rehash the options that were already available to you in one click, making Log Off available as the last option at the top. Nice.
I think of the times I would log into a box, make a quick configuration change and quickly log off. Yes, there were times I had that tiny doubt in my head about whether I hit the shutdown button or the log off button. However, if the server was configured appropriately, you'd at least be halted by a dialog box asking you why on earth you would possibly want to down the server.
I can certainly understand if the shutdown options were moved a click away, but the option to log off? There's surely a logical explanation behind this, just not one I've thought of. I bet Google search will know, but I just felt like making a random rant today! :-)

I agree, but the Father of all lies, the one who seeks the intolerance, hatred, rapes, abortions, murders, greed, dishonesty, lust, disrespect for the image of God- the human body, cursing- taking the Lords name disrespectful Speech, is the spirit who roams among us seeking the destruction of our lives here on earth and to take us to hell with him.

I have a supermicro sc836tq-r800b 16 port hard drive server. When I try to install windows 2008 r2 it will not recognize the hard drives. It asked to choose a driver to begin but it is not showing any. Thanks in advance.
On a Windows Server 2008 computer, we may have to install the "Desktop Experience" feature on the box. To install desktop experience, open Server Manager and choose Add feature, then select Desktop Experience to be installed.
Tortoise SVN is probably the most popular and it is free. I've never had any problems with it and it has a GUI interface that is easy to use. And your dev team can connect to it using whatever client they'd like to use.
I wanted to install windows server 2003 but don't have a product key. Is there any way to bypass this and install windows. Is there any software which can find product key for the CD?
