If you click the desktop tile you have the Windows 7 GUI. The only difference is the start menu being full screen. Why don't people get this yet?

I know you can download multiple Windows 8 keys because you can grab a 32bit and 64bit build. I'm not sure that you can grab multiple Server keys as it only has an x64 build.

It would be awesome if you could read the thread and Wiki. Since you can't, here's the info -
ACM is ONE license at $19
IEEE is TWO licenses at $32
From there you can determine your own needs....
