Can I use Aero Glass on a remote Terminal Services/Remote Desktop session?
Well, with Windows Server 2008 R2, Yes you can!
It’s basically replicating the user experience you get locally of Aero Glass, on remote sessions. It may be useful for task switching etc. Check the guide out below:

Uptime, uptime, uptime. Everyone loves massive uptime, right?
The “Who’s PC has been on the longest without a reboot?” sort of challenges.
Well, finding out the uptime on an OS X machine is quite easy!
If you open a Terminal (by using Spotlight, then searching for Terminal or open Applications/Utilities and double click Terminal) and then type:
uptime
… so it looks something like this:
user@mac:~$ uptime 23:46 up 11:55, 3 users, load averages: 0.17 0.21 0.23
There is multiple parts of information from this command. The part we’re focusing on is the second part: ”up 11:55″. This means that the machine I’m currently on has been booted up for 11 hours and 55 minutes.
So, what’s your uptime? How often do you manually restart your computer? Let me know via comments below!
Instead of going through the long-winded way of installing features using Server Manager, you can install PowerShell quickly in Windows Server 2008 from the command line using the following command:
servermanagercmd -install powershell
Why use the GUI when the command line is much quicker?
