Windows Mail
Windows Media Player
Windows Aero and other desktop themes
Video for Windows (AVI support)
Windows Photo Gallery
Windows SideShow
Windows Defender
Disk Cleanup

How to install Desktop Experience?
1. Open Server Manager: click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and click Server Manager.
2. In the Features Summary section, click Add features.
3. Select the Desktop Experience check box, and then click Next. and then click Install.

Once you have done that you will encounter an error stating you need Windows 2003 or 2008. You’ll need to edit the ocscore.msi with orca and delete the conditional install entry for windows 2008
