Why won't Acronis True Image Workstation run on Windows Server???

I have a server which has installed windows server 2008. I want to be able to run True Image Workstation on this machine, and deploy images with windows xp/vista installed directly on hard disks which will be connected to the very server. But the thing is, that True Image Workstation cannot be installed on a Windows Server Operating System. I want to use the PXE function to boot Acronis True Image Workstation, but since it cannot be installed on a server machine I cannot do this.

I think this should be sorted out immediately, its a terrible waste for this kind of software not to be used on a server machine.
