Active desktop with sharepoint

We are using a portal which is activated automatically using Active Desktop.

Now we want to install Sharepoint and add Sharepoint's welcome page to
Active Destop. For XP it is ok but what about Vista and Windows2008 (TS
Windows server 2008) users?

As I understand it, active desktop was a casualty of the 'improved security'
in Vista.

vista and win server 2008 has no active desktop nor is there a way to
install such a thing...

they removed it... it's a shame because today it when it would be actually
useful that the desktop is going towards the cloud.
