Windows 2008 Desktop Edition?

I have just installed Windows 2008 64-bit and it feels like I'm flying. Believe me this new OS from Microsoft really rocks your PC. Even though Microsoft says that it is derived from Vista SP1, it does not feel like it. And by the way, this is a server OS so it should be more powerful than a desktop OS and slower as a desktop in theory. There are no fancy user interfaces, just plain vanilla Windows but you can still install the Aero theme (which I did) and it still remains much faster than Vista. All the standard features are there including the annoying but helpful User Access Control.

The setup is a custom-built Intel Dual-core 2.4Ghz PC with 2GB RAM with NVidia nForce 610i chipset with on-board NVidia GeForce 7050 GPU and one SATA hard drive which is quite a standard setup nowadays.

I assure you if Microsoft removes all the server stuff and renames it Windows 2008 Desktop Edition, it will be a much better hit than Vista! Don't get me wrong, I do like Vista, but alas it leaves much to be desired in terms of speed and compatibility.

I'm quite fond of this setup and I am really hoping that Microsoft considers a release of Windows 2008 Desktop Edition as an interim OS before the so called Windows 7.
