Honestly I'm surprised I haven't yet stumbled across a community of people doing this. If I had to guess, there's probably a stumbling block that makes it unsuitable for a lot of desktop use cases that I'm not aware of.

It used to be the case that directx 9 wouldn’t install, and several software would detect the server is and refuse.

There are various (mostly non-English) communities making weird chimeric combinations of XP/Vista/7-era OS mods, more recently guided by the leaked source; I don't think they're interested in doing anything legal, but also seem to not be interested in post-Win8 either.
