As someone that had to build a console cable the other day, i would have paid good money for this thing!
as i like to say, "Sometimes you have to say F$@# and grab the console cable."
Actually Aero is installed when you install the "Desktop Experience" which is required when the server will be doing any kind of media streaming. Not sure why they made it so the Desktop Experience is required, but it is.
I can't agree with this enough, not every machine needs to be able to access the web. Granted you could probably gain access via a gateway system, but just the other day I watched a customs agent while it was slow play on the web. Seems like those guys would have access to a lot of data just to be sitting there playing on the web from their own workstation!
