Now all the Live team needs to do is remove that silly version check in the installer that prevents us folks that choose Windows Server 2008 as our workstation OS of choice from sharing the love (or at least make it smart enough to detect if the Windows Desktop Experience features have been activated).

Windows Live isn't the only Microsoft offering that suffers from this (e.g. Zune), and it gets annoying for those of us that actually need the advanced features in Windows Server to get work done, but also like to enjoy our creature comforts on the same machine when it's time for play.
