I run Windows 2008 Enterprise as a desktop on an Lenovo ThinkStation and have Aero enabled. If he's running it as his workstation, I can see the logic in the question. However, if he's enabling it on his servers, Aero doesn't transfer over RDP so the only time he'd even see if is when he's standing in front of it. Also, most servers don't come with a video card to run Aero (if it did, then you got ripped off).
