errmmm...
Server 2008 and Vista SP1 are both Windows version NT 6.0.6001. One is the server version, the other the desktop/workstation version
Come on, you can do better than that. Install 2K8, then install Vista, and no matter what you do to Vista - no matter how much tweaking, gutting out with vLite (pre-install, of course), etc - it'll never be 2K8 or beat it performance-wise. We've been here before, and it still holds true: they may share build numbers and even some kernel code, but they aren't the same OS, not by a longshot, at least nowhere near as closely coupled as 2K3 x64 and XP Pro x64 are.
As one of the peeps that helped created vLite in the first place, believe me, I've made a few hundred attempts the past 2 years trying to get Vista to "be" or perform like 2K8 and I've never had any measurable success, sad to say.
I still call XP Pro x64 Windows Workstation 2003 x64, personally. Some people get it, some don't.
