The main reason is that the available drivers for the server os-es typically 
lag behind the client versions, so we had seen many issues with those older 
drivers. Also, the admins normally aren't eager to update to the newer driver 
versions even when they're available.

The second reason is that arguably graphics performance isn't that important on 
a server machine, stability is the main goal. For example, by default Aero 
isn't even installed on Server 2008 to my knowledge.

Thanks,
