I noticed that in Vista, DEP is set by default to protect only Windows services whereas in Server 2008, it's set to protect every program.
Is that setting necessary for a workstation? Of course the system will be safer but it might be slower.

Use DEP to enable programs to run (Thanks Bucket)
I had trouble getting my two favourite image editing programs running on server 08 as a workstation until I adjusted the default settings in DEP - Data Execution Prevention. DEP can be found by right clicking My Computer - Properties - Advanced system settings - Advanced - Performance Settings - Data Execution Prevention.
Select the top radio button - Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only.
