Windows Server 2008 Desktop Experience feature and SharePoint

When running SharePoint on Windows Server 2008, make sure you activate the Desktop Experience server feature.

Without activating this feature you can't save documents directly from your Microsoft Office application into a SharePoint Document Library.

I have several Windows Server 2008 Standard editions running Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Standard with SP1. I did not install the Desktop Experience feature but I can save documents directly from my Microsoft Office Word 2003. I did not do any further testing but you should not have to install the Desktop Experience feature on Windows Server 2008 to work with SharePoint.
