I just tried the bb fork xoblite bb3 rc1 on server 2008 and it seems
to work alright.  The default menu generation looks a little off
(duplicate entries) but you can just edit the text file it makes
(listed right on the menu itself) other than that it seems to be
equivalent to start->programs.

No desktop icons by default though, Ill see if I can find a plugin
that does that.
