From Windows 8 it is no longer possible to disable the Desktop Window Manager, presumably they made too many UI changes to be able to continue supporting it, except for the Server Core mode in the Server releases. Trouble with Core is that it's basically 3.1 with no program manager or any capability of running additional Windows applications.

But... shouldn't the kernel be backwards compatible? Like, take a Server Core and install the old Win7 user-land on it?
