Win Home Desktop

This project is for users who want to use their Windows Home Server machine like they would use a desktop oriented OS like Windows Vista/7 by first using a series of settings and security templates and eventually a full fledged application with toggled settings and customization.

This is not intended to replace a Windows Vista/7 PC with a Windows Home Server PC but to enhance the Windows Home Server experience in terms of usability.

The Goal: Without removing features from Windows Home Server create a series system settings and templates to make the Home Server OS more usable for users who are more used to a desktop OS.

The Why: If you have multiple computers and your Home Server is just sitting there taking up space and electricity. Why not use it like a regular PC when you need extra PCs for visiting family members who are used to Windows Vista/7 without intimidating them. Plus it is green as the Home Server is on anyways, might as well use it.
