I know it's somewhat stupid to get win2008 R2 using win 7 display but: I was wondering WIN7 does not have a gadget slidebar it is the improved version WIN 2008 server is based on WIN 7 correct why do I need the Vista sidebar gadget installed on a win 7 environment ?
No you do NOT need it. It does not server any purpose that is required for a proper OS operation. You might want to use it, but only YOU can answer why (would you do it) sebus
