This may be hard to believe but windows 2008 server Standard is FAR FASTER than running Vista SP1 on your Shift.
I have installed Server 2008 today and it runs really quickly. It also runs with approximately 490MB of RAM free and responds to starting applications much better...
There are however a few issues........
1. ShagCtrl.exe doesn't run properly it complains about WLANAPI.DLL not being present.
2. The touch screen doesn't work.
Everything else does and works much faster than using VISTA.
Anyone post for me the WLANAPI.DLL so i don't have to re-install vista just to get it please and let me know where it should be placed...
Thanks
Fascinating !!
You actually did what I didn't dare to do.. !!
I assume that there are a few people here capable of delivering what you asked.
The problem might be the touchscreen drivers, to get those working...
I'll keep a close watch on this thread.
One question, did you delete the recovery partition ?
ANother question, did you attach an external DVD an booted from it ?
In the boot menu, there's no option , maybe I should attach a USB DVD or Ethernet connection ?
EDIT : forgot to say that there's postings on this forum offering the drivers seperately. Maybe you can install them ?
Drivers and stuff
Yeah kept the recovery partition F3+FN intact.......
Booted off an external USB DVD device (which shows up on FN+F10)
I have all the drivers separately but was missing some DLLs.
Recovered to VISTA last night and copied off Program Files & WINDOWS to capture all the DLLs and infs....
Re-installing 2008 Server now...
Will let you know how i get on........ But it's sooooo much quicker.....
Microsoft really have optimised Server 2008 over Vista even though is shares some of the same kernel.........
I think a better way forward is to get it to work with Server 2008....

wow, great job mate, but how much does server 2008 cost?
and is it worth that cost, considering vista is installed free?

I'm an MSND member (Technet PLUS) which sets you down about 400$ a year. In return, you can install any OS they ever made with a key. 4 timees per key if im correct. So m Windows 2008 is payed for already, but understand not everybody has technet plus from microsoft.
It's a darn good deal.
If you do get ShagCtrl and VitaKey work with your Windows server 2008 I think that might make me install Server 2008 as well.
Good Luck and let us know how it turns out!
sorry for my ignorance, but does Server 2008 behave in a similar way to Vista? can you install the same apps? i.e. would Skype work? what would be the main disadvantages of doing this?
Hi,
I've noticed that several posters on this forum have replaced Vista Business on their Shifts with Vista Ultimate.
I was just wondering why? In my opinion, what is "missing" from Vista Business (e.g. Media Centre), isn't really suitable for a device like the Shift anyway, so I was just curious as to why you would want to do this?

Dave

I agree...i would rather go for XP and get some more resources.
I must admit, whilst I have no objection to Vista per se, it really does need 2GB memory to shine. So, for the Shift, if there was an easy downgrade where literally everything worked ok, I would do it in a heartbeat.
That being said, for my purposes, Vista Business is ok, so I really want to know why some want to upgrade to Ultimate.
For the record, my *primary* machine, is running 64-bit Vista Ultimate Edition, and my secondary is running 32-bit Vista Ultimate, but to be honest I could live with Business on both.

Hi there!
First, I'm a Linux developer, I don't have much experience on Windows Mobile developing but I'm willing to learn ;-)
My idea is to port libusb-win32 to Windows Mobile. Now my question is, how difficult could this be? I'm not familiar with drivers on Windows Mobile and I don't know how easy it would be to port this library to WinCE.
Do you know how high the amount of work would be or if it possible?
Thanks in advance,
nezza-_-
Sorry for the bad english ;-)
hi there. i was wondering if someone had any experience, connecting his Win Mo 6.5 on a Windows 2008 Server PC/Laptop and had a successful sync.
I recently changed on my laptop from windows 7 64-bit to windows server 2008 R2 64-bit (the reasons actually simple, server OS runs way smoother that Windows 7, and manages RAM much better on a laptop), but im no more able to sync all my stuff i used to sync with WMDC.
downloaded from MS site the Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver (vista, 64-bit), installed fine, but when i did connect my HTC HD Mini, it couldnt find any drivers.
It starts to try to locate the drives, but then, error finding'em.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
win 7 and server 2008 r2 have same core.. there is no different memory management, it comes with less hardware-consuming userstuff like aero-desktop, thats the reason why it feels "smoother". using server without intention to use all that serverspecific stuff is stupid, because it has less compatibility to lots of programms and tools, you will also need special server editions of software that will cost a lot more money. and dont let us talk about the different prices of win7 and server 2008..
you can slim down win7 to a naked win server 2008 (there should be many articles in the web)
but if you have problems on windows server, take use of microsoft support service..

dude, without been TOO rude, i didn't ask about anyones opinion what OS is better or runs faster/smoother. There is a good reason i switched over to Windows 2008 R2 and honestly i don't have to explain why, especially to ppl who didn't get the question.
so, unless, u had any experience with that kind of stuff, please spare me.
@other: sorry for my language.
P.S. @schlund: mein lieber freund, wenn Du nicht die frage kapierst, bitte nicht mit nutzlosen zeug und Kommentaren spammen. Danke

and just for your information, because im sure u r talking bull...

let me inform you, that indeed Windows 2008 R2 Server runs SMOOTHER even with Aero stuff enabled (its called Desktop Experience and Windows Theme service enabled).

please dude, read the question ...
finally, i figured out, how to make it work
go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=6eb8d0aa-bc6b-4864-8ffe-dc26e1d9f843&displaylang=en and download Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit). Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=4F68EB56-7825-43B2-AC89-2030ED98ED95 and download Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) (you have to have a valid copy of MS OS - because Validation is Required).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install the downloaded files with the order you downloaded them (1. Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) and 2. Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit))
Plugin your WM device, and voila, everything works fine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My problem was, i downloaded only the first file from the Microsoft site, since i thought the second file was the same (names are almost identical, if you are in a hurry)
P.S. if you have Microsoft Outlook 2010 64-bit (im not sure if this the case with the 2007 version as well), active sync will not work.
