You will get “Web Client Service is Unavailable” while installation on Windows 2008 server without any configuration. There is a good article that describes possible problems. But if you don’t follow prerequisites described in article you still should be able to install Sitecore. And major part of functionality will work. But WebDav will not work.
WebDAV - Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning. It is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. WebDav allows user to work with files saved on web server. It used in Sitecore Media Library for drag and drop ability and other files operations.
WebDav requires “Desktop experience” server feature. The Desktop Experience feature allows you to use Windows 7 features on your Windows Server 2008.
Also, don’t forget to add your Sitecore site to trusted sites or allows IE to load to launch programs and files in an iframe. Otherwise you will get empty drag and drop window without ability to edit folder content.
