I guess they really don't want me to use Windows :)
"The Microsoft Partner Action Pack subscription is restricted to
resellers, consultants, value-added resellers, value-added providers,
system integrators, developers, system builders, hosts, service
providers, and IT professionals who sell Microsoft products or provide
solutions based on Microsoft products and technologies to third-party
customers.
The software products that are included with the subscription are NFD
versions. You can use them only for testing, evaluation,
demonstration, training, and educational purposes. For example, you
can use the Action Pack software to host your company's intranet but
the software cannot be used to host a commercial Web site. This is
considered a production environment that is outside the scope of the
software's intended purpose."

No you can't disable the Metro UI. We run about 700 virtual
machines, 300 are 2012 R2. I don't know what buggyness steve is
talking about, we have had nothing but good experiences other than
the kinda crappy UI. Once you get used to it it's not so bad.

2012 R2 seems to be fine when you need to run Windows. All
you need is the Windows key and you pretty much can access
everything.

2012r2 was primarily their maiden voyage into full
Virtual, that licensing gets even more confusing. When
given the choice I still install 2008 r2. 2012 is buggier
than shit, probably more from my lack of using it than
anything. you can move up to 2012 down the road on that key.
action packs are not for production use

Any specific reason that you need 2008? Like a piece
of software you are trying to use only supports it or
something silly like that? 2008 is 7 years old now it
would be a lot better for you to just use 2012 r2.

I was considering MS Action Pack, but it looks
like it comes with Server 2012. I would rather
use 2008.
Does anybody know whether I can use 2008 instead
of Server 2012?
