해외 사이트에 재미있는 내용이 올라와있어 소개해드리고자 한다.
MS의 새 서버용 OS인 .NET을 윈도우XP로 인식시킨다는 내용인데, NTSwitch라는 유틸리티를 사용해서 간단하게 할 수 있는 기능이라고 한다. 상당한 성능향상이 있다고 하며 정식버전의 WindowsXP보다도 나은 성능을 보였다고 이 글의 필자는 전했다.
필자는 지금 윈도우 .NET 환경이 아니라 실험을 해볼 수는 없었는데 관심있으신 분들께서는 한번 해보시길 바란다.
위에 링크가 걸려있는 곳을 누르면 NTSwitch를 다운로드 받으실 수 있다.
단, 각자의 책임하에 해보시도록...

An ADTW exclusive here. With a handy app entitled NTSwitch you now have the option to turn .NET Server into XP Pro. What's more, this isn't just for .NET to Pro. You can use this to turn any NT Server OS into it's Workstation counterpart. 2K Pro to 2K Server, 2K Server to 2K Pro, and if you convert an OS from server to workstation, you can undo the changes by simply running the executable again and choosing to go back to whichever type of OS you were on before and simply rebooting.

I attempted this on .NET Server and have sucessfully converted Build 3615 to Windows XP Professional. Using an app called NTSwitch, .NET now thinks it is a workstation OS , in this case , Windows XP Pro. All of the features of XP that were disabled, such as fast user switching , the welcome screen , and DirectX now work perfectly. I have personally always got much better performance out of .NET than I have out of Windows XP. This program works by changing certain entries in the system registry to trick Windows into thinking it is a workstation OS. Once you run this program , you can reboot , enable fast user switching and the welcome screen from Group Policy Editer, gpedit.msc from the run command , your boot logo will be changed to that of XP Pro and many other things. This can also be done on Windows XP Pro (thanks to NeoLojik for the testing, the app says it does not work but it will). He gained an extreme amount of performance. What we basically end up with here is this. .NET contains patches and bug fixes for Windows XP that you likely won't see until SP1 , but you are getting them in this way. And there is no draw back. Each and every feature of XP is there, you just have to enable some things on after running this program. For example. Norton Antivirus 2002 would not install on 3615 as it is not compatible with a "Server OS" , however , after running this program , Norton installs perfectly fine on my system. Any questions or comments can be posted in our forums. Note:
Upon further testing, we have determined that this does cause a nasty memory leak when taking XP Pro Workstation to XP Pro Server. Convert this OS at your own risk , however all other NT OS's are fine.

Another update, a friend of mine, Sidewinder, who originally pointed this app out to me, just was able to install XP Plus on Windows .NET 3590 as well as Partition Magic 7.
